[Babiarz] Sochan’s new look & recent shot motion

26 comments

1. Looking at the motion, I’m a bit concerned. A pause in the energy transfer, a sideways movement of the ball coming up, off arm is at 45 degrees over the top and side. Oof… That man needs to tear it down all the way, or he’ll end up a defensive specialist bench guy.

   Game footage looks better btw, when he doesn’t think about it too much.

2. That is…not pleasant.

3. Oh Jeremy no

4. Man he stops his momentum on the way up and has his hand over the ball. Really hurts to watch.

5. I can already see the disgust on CP’s face in practice

6. People just now realizing that Sochan has a slow 3 motion shot with a sidespin shows how many people were actually watching games during the season…

   [This is something I noticed back in March](https://www.reddit.com/r/NBASpurs/s/WSsn4Ks9sa)

7. Watch him shoot 35% from 3 on that form somehow on like 2 attempts per game

8. Ugh. I think Charles Barkley might have a smoother golf swing.

9. Horrible that’s not good

10. It does not look that bad in games, yikes. Idk, wouldn’t think of this practice bid too much though. Sometimes I shoot super slow when I’m just putting up shots

11. This guy can’t shoot man. Let’s just be real, we missed in him.

12. Oh shit at first I thought the video was lagging. His form is similar to Chuck Hayes’ free throw form.

13. Everyone is freaking out but I feel like this is just an overly exaggerated practice shot

14. That is awful. I want him to do well but if he does not improve I can see him getting traded depending on who we draft next year

    Everyone should be on notice, next season you need to showcase or risk missing the train

15. It’s gotten slower since the regular season. Wtf

16. I think he is just working on keeping his elbow tucked in. He has the tendency for it to flair when he brings in his guide hand (this is why he was shooting one handed free throws). I wouldn’t look into this video of a warm up drill

17. Doesn’t really look like a game shooting motion and more of like him practicing form shooting as he progresses thru each segment of his shot.

    The new hair look def is fresh tho

18. I’ll wait to see how he does in regular season before going crazy.

19. I’m not worried. Sochan is gonna kill it this year.

20. lol who cares how it looks like in practice, if man can hit it at 45 to 40 percent on decent volume and improved finishing man is a long term piece. Period

21. Form doesn’t matter as long as it goes in, this is a lot easier on the eyes than whatever the hell Marion would do and he was fairly efficient. It’s also hard to tell whether he’s being deliberately slow to see where he’s messing up on his shot or if he’s actually trying to shoot normally, I remember when vassell’s shot looked wonky in a video and dropped his draft stock a ton he ended up being just fine

22. Kinda looks like the pause in Kyle Anderson’s shooting

23. This is not a simple hitch. This is the hitch to end all hitches

24. This is a form drill, relax guys

25. I think he’s just doing a specific practice

26. that looks disgusting. wtf is the pause
