Craig Luschenat - Jaylen Brown

Craig Luschenat: 

Jaylen for his career shoots 36% from three and 35% from 16 feet to the three-point line. After calibrating all his miss fundamentals together against the rest of the NBA I can conclude that he is between a 36%-38% three-point shooter. His miss fundamental totals were most comparable to Rodney Hood.

Jaylen’s biggest problem in his shot delivery is that he drops his hands far too often. His dropped hands rate is 37% per 100 missed shots, which is 13% over the elite shooters average of 24%. More specifically, he drops his hands when he’s trying to get his shot off quick or his shot is contested, which is a problem a lot of players have. The other smaller error he commits is weak/no-stepping into his shot. He needs to consistently rhythm 1/2 step into his shot to create energy, balance, and lift going towards the rim.

Jaylen has great form, a high release point, and really good fundamentals on his shot delivery. Also, he is in the elite percentile for every category except dropped hands and doesn’t commit any extra fundamental errors. This is a trait all elite shooters share, which I believe Jaylen can become. When he shoots the ball the way he should his shot looks as good as anyone in the league (See Clip 4 of “Good Misses”).

Breakdown:  Per 100 Missed Shots:

1.     Dropped Hands: Totalà 37% of the time he missed.

2.     Leaning/Fading Back: Totalà 18% of the time he missed.

3.     Feet off Balance: Totalà 12% of the time he missed.

4.     Good Misses: Totalà 37% of the time he missed.

5.     Weak/Non-Step into Shot: Totalà 21% of the time he missed.

6.     Missed Short: Totalà 24% of the time he missed.
