this is close to my view on shooting improvement ... can be improved with coaching and reps ... form does matter and can be improved ... should not be attempted in season ... taking a variety of different types of shots is important (unless you only want to be a catch and shoot player) ... and yet some people just don't have the DNA to become elite or even very good shooters

The Bears need to contact the coaches for the Valkyries for shooting 3 pointers instruction. They scorched the net Sunday & was 9-13. These weren't just the guards but the forwards too.

Just a guess here. Since the Valkyries practice at the former Warriors' facility in downtown Oakland, maybe Cal coaches have already been there to observe. You never know.

The Valkyries are eighth out of 13 WNBA teams in three-point shooting percentage (33.2%).

The best three-point shooter by percentage is Iliana Rupert, a 6-4 post who gets a lot of wide-open looks. Cecilia Zandalasini is next, and she's been a pure shooter her whole career.

Veronica Burton improved dramatically in the W, but the big jump took place the year before she got to the Valkyries.

I love the strategy. Everybody shoots threes when they're open. It opens up the interior and makes the game more fun to play.

If you're open, let it go.
