I will say this, the main reason I think that we shouldn't really take these videos too seriously is that he hits those shots because he isn't tired. Defense will tire you out, your arms, your legs, your energy. I don't think DeRozan would be driving and pulling up on the fast break that way if he had to guard a quick and skilled guard on the other end for 20 seconds and met that guard on the other end on offense. I know it's just a fun few games to entertain, but I don't think him hitting those jumpers will translate at all to the NBA.

I disagree with your assessment. He is just as contested as he would be in practice.
"I mean, we're talking about Practice, here. Practice. Practice. We're talking about Practice. Not a game. Not gaame. Practice." Heh
Gaining confidence in your jumpshot is done in many ways.
Obtaining the proper muscle memory and form in your jumpshot, is done many ways.
Jumpshots are Jumpshots. Practice is Practice.

Now, working on proper footwork, release point, consistent form, good balance, etc. can be done at a less strenuous pace to create the muscle memory needed, but to take it to the next level you need to push yourself.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

Getting to the point where your cardio is up and you really need to rely on your legs and form to be successful is key to becoming a better game shooter. I can go in the gym and knock down tonnes of shots, but if I am not working on getting them off at game speed and pushing my self, all I am doing is becoming a good set shooter, not a great game shooter.

From what I've been taught, the pull up isn't necessarily supposed to be a quick, up, and go type shot. Whether you have your heart pumping and during the middle of the game, or straight from the jump.
I've been taught to drive and or change the pace of speed, than at that point you turn on the jets, or take that pull-up. More of a shot that takes a defender off balance, because defensively, they don't know whether you're going to change your speed and drive, or take a jump-shot.
Hopefully that makes some sense, it's hard trying to explain without being on the court! :PTwitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

The list was based on PPG and on players that played 56 games or more...
But at least the numbers are there. THE KID CAN IMPROVE.
