Craig Luschenat - Andre Roberson

Andre for his career shoots 25% from three and 15% from sixteen feet to the three-point line. Andre was a very interesting case study for me; I had a lot of fun breaking down his film. Andre does two things very well in his delivery, which are holding his hands and having a great base on his shot. Also, he has a nice high delivery; his shot looks really good when he shoots it right.
Andre makes two fundamental mistakes that have a chain reaction throughout his shot. First, he hops into 63% of his misses, which is 57% over the elite shooters average. When a player hops into their shot it either causes a fade/lean or poor balance, which leads to either missing short or missing to a side. In short this is because all the players energy is going in the direction the player is moving; so if they’re going forward all their energy goes into the ground, not up into the shot. If they’re moving to a side then their energy will go to that side, which causes poor balance. This is why he fade/leans on 39% of his misses; when he doesn’t hop he doesn’t fade/lean. The second mistake Andre makes is he weak/no-steps into 20% of his misses. This also causes no lift on his shot because he isn’t generating any energy, which is the other reason (besides hoping) why he misses short on 61% of his misses. I believe if he fixed these two mistakes that he could shoot into the mid 30’s from three.
