Last season, Jaylen Brown struggled with his weak left hand dribble and streaky shooting form. Fast forward a year and he is thriving, utilizing his improved handle to get to the rim with regularity while harnessing his athletic ability to transform his jump shot.
Primarily, Brown’s improvements revolve around him learning how to utilize that freakishly insane athleticism. His jump shot has become a reliable weapon following a slight mechanical change made with his release. Previously Brown would release the ball while still on his way up, making it easy for lengthy defenders to get a hand on the ball or in his line of sight.
