It's gonna probably look clunky in actual game speed time, this won't be fixed in one off season by any means. Hopefully he'll see the fruits of his labor pay off in 2-3 more seasons.

Here they talk about his "insane" physical transformation. He just looks like he put on weight, not necessarily muscle.
And his rap mixtape premiere, where he is seen riding around with his boys, with no seat belt on.

Kawhi's jumper looks stiff too (in comparison to someone like Paul George). He just hits it. Results is what matters here. At his size and release point, nobody's getting to it

Interview with his trainer.
What have you and Scottie been up to this summer?
We've just been refining his game, getting him better offensively in the half-court as far as giving him go-to moves to get to. Our main goal is just to get him to be a lot more efficient in the half-court and, of course, working on his jump shot. He's been progressing well. I think the first month after the season he made a big leap, like, he jumped right into it right after the season. So he made a big jump there.
His mid-post turnarounds both ways, those are, like, he's gonna make a lot of those. Like, those are going to be like his money shots. Especially when he gets switches on smaller guys. So I think he'll just be able to get downhill a lot easier than he was and he put on like 10 pounds. So he's like 235 (pounds). He's like 235, 6% body fat. So he's a perfect, like, he looks like a created player.
What areas did you think he needed to improve in the most?
I think he's just got to continue to be more aggressive because you'll see times in the game where there may be like six or eight minutes where he doesn't make an attempt to try to score the ball. He's just such an unselfish player that he should always be aggressive because he's gonna draw two, he's gonna make that play. But then you'll see like there'll be spots in the game where he scores like eight straight points and then everybody's surprised but that's something that he can do on a regular (basis). But he's just got to continue to stay engaged and stay in that mode.

Kawhi's isn't just stiff, it's damn near mechanical in a good way.
Scottie is the opposite of that, it's stiff but in a non consistent way, that'll get smoothed out with reps though.

How much better is he right now compared to a year ago at this time?
He's a completely different player. That's been who he is every single summer that we've worked out. He just gets better and better and better. So right now, he's way better. Like the workout that we had two days ago was the best workout that he's ever had with me.

Please everyone stop acting like you know what your talking about with jumpshot "stiffness" don't make me laugh. Kawhi and Scottie both have 7'3 wingspan's and stand 6'7 or taller. What they are able to do with the basketball at that size is absolutely extraordinary.
