Hi, this is Sean Hobson, and what we're talking about right now is the proper mechanics behind
being a good jump shooter. And what we're talking about right now is after we set up
the shot, and after he comes off the screen, or after he's moving, the first step is he's
going to take the proper steps. Once he gets the ball and comes off--go ahead, take your
two steps in. He's got the ball. The second thing is, we want to talk about the hands.
How you catch the ball, and how you ready the shot. So, let's just have you stand after
you've taken your step. What you want to do, typically, every time you come off a screen,
or every time you come off ready to shoot the ball, you always want to have your hands
ready in what we call the shooting pocket. You don't want to come off the screen waiting
for the ball with your hands down. You always want to have those hands out. That also tells
me as a passer that you're ready, because if he doesn't have his hands up, I guess he
doesn't want the ball. I guess he's not ready for it. So if he comes around and his hands
are out and he's ready, I can pass the ball right in the shooting pocket. You see what
he does with it when he catches it. He quickly, not a lot of motion, he catches it, he sticks
the ball right here, in the shooting pocket, ready to let the ball go. Now he's in a good
form, now he's ready, now he's ready to make that good jump shot. That's how you catch
the ball off the move.
