It's not hitchy at least just the windup is so long and starts low. But good shooters have weird forms. Rashard lewis,Ryan Anderson, etc.

Solid effort so far, aside from the second chance opportunities giving up to many offense rebounds. Penda has to hit that wide open 3 in order for him to work.

Franz is almost like a catapult cocked to the side now lol.

Penda has missed his 3s, but form looks OK. Sometimes he loses it and starts shooting line drives, but arc seems good thus far. Going to be key for him.

He has the height to get away with it on some defenders, it just looks awkward and hard to replicate

This is the 1st game I've tuned into since the playoffs so I'm not sure if he's been dancing around with different forms like last season

The Magic needed to hit on their 2 draft pics this season, esp with cap concerns for the upcoming seasons

Jase & Penda are looking legit

Jase is a dog. He takes mistakes personally and grinds. He doesn't wilt. That's a special characteristic.

Franz should focus on catch and shoot 3s.

Franz has to hit jase in the corner there. He was wide open.

Yeah, could be a eurobasket carryover. They were tiny and he had to play bigger.
