    I think it's because his shot is compact and he shoots it more from in front of his face rather than having a high release point..........which is bad because unless he is open or gets separation, his shot is very blockable - which is why the quick trigger is so important.

    Exactly right. Thats the difference between a set shooter and a jump shooter like Ammo. They go for the high jump, high release because they're usually in traffic. It's safer and weaker at the same time because with that extra movement comes an increased risk to mess up on things like keeping your elbow in, fingertips only on the ball, shoulders straight, etc.

    Set shooters like Hammer (and myself) have compact shots that don't waste any motion because they're usually shorter so they have to get off a quicker shot. The benefits being less of a chance of messing up, but of course having the downside of it being blockable by a close athlete.



    Not disagreeing with you by any means lol just "expanding" on it for whoever else wants clarification

    I think the Bobcats website is playin with our emotions. They will probably come out with all power forwards day video next.

    Notice this though, See how in shape and ready to play Morrison looks, Where's Sean May in any of these so far?
    As long as NC has a team, I'm going to cheer for it

    If I had to guess, I'd say Chapel Hill. That's something I don't understand either. I know he was finishing his degree for most of the summer, and that's fine. I'm glad he at least bore the facade of working out while going back to school. On the other hand, summer sessions ended weeks ago and it's pretty clear that the videos on Bobcats.com were combinations of Las Vegas practices and work-outs the day before the video was put up on the site.

    He should be in the gym if he's healthy enough to do so.

    Adam looks to be in great shape and I can't wait for the season to start so we can see him on the court again. I am confident he will be great this year and contribute to the team. I realize that Ammofan and I are the biggest Adam fans on the planet and are a little biased, but I believe he will prove himself to be a real asset to our team this season!

    32 games won last year with a dsyfuctional team and hurt brand name players. Morrison being healthy gives us a chance in a few more of those games. He looked in shape and ready to play, I can't wait till the season starts!!!
