"When describing his improved jump shot at the team's shootaround in Denver, Moses Moody used a sound to explain why he has knocked down almost half his attempts from behind the arc this season. By adding what he called pop to his shot, hearing an ensuing swish has become common while connecting on 44.7% of his 3-point attempts overall. It was just about getting under the ball, and adding a little pop to it, Moody said."
"Shooting with my left hand made me realize that I had to teach myself how to shoot again with my left, Moody said of the change entering his fifth professional season. Therefore, I had to really go step by step, going through what I do with my right hand. The 23-year-old guard characterized the mechanical change as a minor adjustment rather than a full-blown rebuild."
"Legendary South Bay shooting guru and Pinewood High School girls basketball coach Doc Scheppler, who famously honed Palo Alto native Jeremy Lin's jumper, noted that such mild adjustments are far from uncommon at any level of basketball. Sometimes, it doesn't require more than just a small tweak, arguments that assist with what they already do, Scheppler told the Bay Area News Group in a phone call on Friday afternoon."
Moses Moody raised his three-point percentage to 44.7% this season after adding "pop" to his jump shot, producing more frequent swishes. He relearned shooting mechanics while limited to his left hand during the offseason following surgery on his dominant right thumb, practicing step-by-step to mirror his right-hand motion. Moody called the change a minor mechanical adjustment rather than a full rebuild. Legendary shooting coach Doc Scheppler credited improved rhythm and added power for the change and noted that small tweaks often suffice to improve shooters at many levels. Moody shot 37.4% from three last season.
