I thought we already had one

Missed this one , but seemed like it got close for a while, but the guys pulled it out. Anyone else think that the team should hire a shooting coach for Blake and DJ?

Blake has been turrible this season. He was shooting around 70% in the last 3 of the season, but has regressed. With people like Billups, Mo and Foye on the team, you would think that someone would offer him some advice. I'd like to see him get in a few dribbles and try to get into rhythm with his shot.

DJ's free-throws look either perfect or totally off. His problem is consistency. He needs to make an effort of doing the exact same thing when he goes to the line. It's all muscle memory. If he makes the first one, don't go around high fiving everyone. Keep your feet in the same spot and let them come to you.

Come on Mo, he's always pouting, well now's his chance to start for a game or two. Hopefully he'll be available, because Utah seems to be overachieving right now.

Sometimes too much advise screws you up, so they actually might be offering him advice, but it might be too many voices. I don't know, but a dedicated shooting coach for the two of them would be a great thing for the team to invest in. Have them get their advice from just one person who can help them improve their shooting. The thing about both of them is that they don't have terrible form, so there is good hope to become at least consistent 70% FT shooters. Blake is also inconsistent with his release and sometimes will hitch a little, which is killing him.
