There is not yet an video of him shooting but we got this

I think it's pretty enough telling of where he is now

Thanks for finding this, very interesting.

His mind might very well be the only thing that stops him. But I'd be more concerned about his knees and ankles. Home position for his knees is way on the end of range of motion; i'd bet on an injury in the next three years, especially if he gets starter's minutes.

Wish him luck, but Tatum is going to be special. A toast to Danny Ainge!
'I was proud of Marcus Smart. He did a great job of keeping us together. He might not get credit for this game, but the pace that he played at, and his playcalling, some of the plays that he called were great. We obviously have to rely on him, so I’m definitely looking forward to Marcus leading this team in that role.' - Jaylen Brown, January 2021

He could not figure out how to win in college, so I think you're wrong.   Classic guy who put up inflated numbers on a bad team.

Bit of a non sequitur. He wasn't referring to winning anywhere.

I don't think Fultz will figure it out, but it's not as if he is on a bad team right now, so I fail to see any relevancy to his weak college team.

We got the video now

My take is on his form, he obviously still can't put his right shoulder up and stretch it (from 0:45 especially clear)

So Hanlen can only change it to a near one motion shot, heavily relied on his wrist and whole body strength(since he can barely use his arm and shoulder)
by repeat it countless times now he can use that form to make a bucket, but because the limitation above the form isn't good at all, easy to image there are many limitations on it like long releasing time, range, arch, shoot when moving, easy to get hurt again, ect

But at least he should be able to make a wide open 3, and freethrow now

Yuck. Still not good.


Dramatically different from his college form

He actually looks like a competent shooter in that video. Then again, there was no one guarding him, which may be a totally different story. Also, the video only shows him shooting spot up 3's.  The mechanics of shooting a spot up three and a free throw could be totally different.

I've never been worried about his actual form. I've been worried about his mind. That's what seems broken.

I think he is still aiming shots, instead of just shooting. I don't think that goes away yet.

If he misses his first 3 threes of the season, what does that do to his confidence? That's the question I have.

exactly, from what i read, in practice marcus smart makes a very high percentage of his 3 point shots.

we shall see this season. i wish him luck because i hate to see anyone fail...but i do not wish him TOO much luck.  ;D

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

That is still one funky looking shot. There is still a significant hitch there, and he’s clearly pushing the ball at the end of the motion.

Agree with others. That form just doesn’t bode well for shooting in traffic or off the dribble, which was supposed to be something he excelled at. And this is not even considering the mental aspect of it.

Similar to Curry release. Looks efficient.

I suspect he will have a good year.
