Jalen Hood-Schifino says he’s made ‘a lot of progress’ on 3-point shot over summer

As with every rookie, Jalen Hood Schifio’s game has plenty of potential mixed with some areas that need improvement. Summer League play in both Las Vegas and Sacramento showcased both of those aspects for JHS.

One of the biggest weaknesses in Hood-Schifino’s game has been his 3-point jumper. In college, he shot 33.3% from range but was a particularly streaky shooter. In a small sample size of Summer League, JHS shot 21.7% on 23 attempts in six games.

This season, and in future seasons moving forward for that matter, the swing skill for JHS is going to be his 3-point jumper.
