...I had a high school teammate who shot it the same way and he was a prolific shooter from downtown.

Here's my hot take: I'd take Trevin Knell's shooting form over any other BYU player in the last 25 years

what? Not BA's? he's got to be a close second.

Averette clearly works hard on his shot and has improved over his career

Indy Coug

3/1/21 1:35pm

His step-back is comic book.

SinkingQuffa

3/1/21 1:37pm

He's 36% on the year, which is 2% better than the NCAA average

Indy Coug

3/1/21 1:40pm

Most nights his shot selection is fine. It's been improving.

SinkingQuffa

3/1/21 1:50pm

In conference play he's 39%

He needs to work on not falling down

I feel like they go in when he falls down

Remigius

What difference does it make if it goes in

Transition D? Particularly on the misses

Just like James Harden?

I'll give you two players on this year's team with similar quality shooting form

LifeLongLakerFan

3/1/21 1:37pm

I'm a believer in both of those players being able to shoot the 3 going forward

Barcello also has a nice stroke

Gideon is a little late on his release. It makes his shooting look really slow.

I love George’s shot. So smooth.

Matt Carlino in 2nd, because lefties always look better. Fischer in 3rd?

If Mike Rose had played in the analytics era, he'd be remembered a lot more

CaliWG

Too much can go wrong with his stroke. I feel the same way as you, but sub

Not as nice but Gideon George seems to have a sweet shot as well

letthewookieewin

3/1/21 2:10pm

Pretty much unblockable.

SinkingQuffa

3/1/21 3:24pm

FWIW here's the top 10 seasons for 3 PT%

wisconsincougs

3/1/21 2:12pm

He's shooting 50% in conference play. Which isn't the best on the team

Mostlyaccurate

3/1/21 2:58pm

Wow. Why isn't Barcello shooting more!?!

RUNBYU1

3/1/21 3:18pm

Ha including Jimmer? As if he had a great form? He had the form of a

Lip Gallagher

It’s tough to have perfect form when the entire team is on your shoulders

Bluforever

3/1/21 5:01pm

Would you rather have great form or a lot of threes made?

Tricky

3/1/21 3:25pm

Alex Barcelo's?

Archaea

3/1/21 3:30pm

What about Zac Seljaas? Looked so smooth as a frosh. Wasn't he >50% with >100

eyes4byu

3/1/21 4:05pm

Zac had an odd hitch in his release...

icecougar

3/1/21 5:27pm

Mark Bigelow had a nice looking shot

Unibro

3/1/21 4:07pm

Caleb Lohner has the best form

Parker Schnabel

3/1/21 4:12pm

Agree. Which is why i knew he would start making them. Just matter of time

Bluforever

3/1/21 4:42pm

You limited to after Ainge. He had a nice shot. Mike Smith? Devin Durrant, early

Archaea

3/1/21 4:13pm

Smith had a really nice stroke...

icecougar

He’s really got great mechanics, pure shooter

Tuskaloosa Cougar

3/1/21 4:45pm

I'd take Chase Fischer's form 1st

Thrill

3/1/21 4:52pm

Y’all bozos are crazy. The disrespect to Jimmer is wild. Dude always got square

4thand19

3/1/21 5:04pm

And his elbow was in right place and follow through with wrist almost perfect.

Jimmer's shot resembled Larry Birds...

icecougar

3/1/21 6:33pm

Well, it's his height that is most advantageous. It's nice that he has a high

Ash

he's certainly having a good year but I don't see where his shooting form is...

Mekeli was a great player.

Another guy that put his team on his shoulders.

Well sure! Your form stinks.
