Siakam working on his pull up 3's.
Ho man, KD-esque.
Quick snipe-like release. His shooting form already looks better than last year.

That's a pretty low release point

not quite sure what's the hype with pascal. he has a pretty low , and slow release point on his jump shots. Not exactly sure how he's going to pull this off against taller guys like Embiid

will be cautious about my optimism here

That’s not really the point... more times they were guarding him like he was Ben Simmons. If they leave him open like that it does show optimism if he can hit a solid rate. If those type of bigs guard him too close, he can easily blow past them.

Is this a post from last summer?

I don't think I've ever seen Pascal get his jumper blocked, and if anything, I'd say he tends to rush his shot too much because he doesn't really dip the ball.

Exactly. The whole point is to have people guard him closely so he can pump fake and drive straight to the basket. Pascal is faster than anyone in his position besides, say, Giannis so having bigs really close to him allows for blowbys. The reason why he thrived during the reg season was because no one studied to know he was helpless above the break and the mid range area but as we know, folks study your stats in the playoffs.

I guess that setshot is sufficient if the other team is playing for the drive. I still think he's gonna need a true legit jumpshot, kinda like Kawhi or Chris Bosh where both managed to get a lot of lift for the shots

OG is probably focusing on regaining the mass he lost. He's looking really healthy. We'll probably see him in the runs soon.

New Rico footage of Pascal. Man he’s looking more fluid every day.

Siakam got me so hyped from these simple videos man

Asif16 · Post #197 » by **Asif16** » Thu Jul 25, 2019 7:43 pm

Siakam gonna be a star man. I really dont think we're gonna be that far off next season. If anything I'll like going in as the underdogs in a series again.

We should be able to grab the 4th seed at the very least and get home court advantage in the 1sr rd.

Asif16 · Post #198 » by **Asif16** » Thu Jul 25, 2019 7:44 pm

I absolutely hate this time of the year though. The dog days of the summer with nothing going on.
