I’m just noticing a heretofore un-noticed hitch in Dennis Smith Jr.’s free throw shooting motion. It’s almost like Chuck Hayes, obviously not as bad, but he sort of pauses and turns his wrist a little bit right before he lets it go. Has he always done this? Am I just being dumb for not realizing it earlier? Or is this a new development that bodes poorly for his prospects as a shooter going forward?
We all remember what happened to Markelle Fultz.
That’s an extreme scenario, granted. I wouldn’t have even noticed anything was amiss if he hadn’t bricked a whole bunch of them this game. Maybe it’s nothing. Don’t let me freak you out. If you’re hyped for DSJ, please continue being hyped for him. And if you’re what they call a “hater”, don’t use this new information to hate on him further. Yet. More research is required.
