[Lowlights] All the 80 3-pointers Dyson Daniels took this season, so far, with breakdown of his shots in the body text (done by me).. He is 10⁄80 (12.5%) from 3 this season, in 56 GP. 12 air balls out of 80 3PA (15.0%).
More air balls than makes is something.
He just like me.
i dont understand it at all, theres nothing wrong with the form. its just 100% mental
other notorious non shooters almost always u can blame partially on horrendous form like andre roberson but dyson’s is perfectly fine
edit: actually noticing that it progressively gets worse as the video goes on, hes basically shooting it expecting it to miss, really weird
Nothing wrong with the form? Form looks stiff, slow, until the release which is quick as anything. I feel like everything is wrong with his form, it’s awful.
Nothing flows together.
Yeah, his form is ridiculously broken. It doesn’t look as wild as MKG or Simmons, but his form is awful.
Instead of everything moving in the same direction in one coordinated, smooth motion, he starts to go up, then pulls the ball back and flicks it with his wrists from under his chin.
I’ll never understand how some of these guys got to the NBA and then play for years without ever addressing obvious shooting form issues.
Nba is nearly completely genetic luck. It is kind of crazy though. Most of these guys prob breezed even in top programs though. Hard to push yourself when you yamming on midgets. Then when you get to the nba it’s a whole different ballgame.
Yeah Aus basketball will have the even crazier version of this, because unlike the USA or Canada. There’s not a lot of top quality young prospects.
I think Aus basketball has produced maybe 1 quality NBA shooter ever and that’s Patty Mills.
theres nothing wrong with the form
Did you watch the video? Lmao
yes? and theres nothing really wrong with the form. the result is insanely bad in comparison
It’s stilff, rigid, and strange.
Has none of the smoothness of flow of most NBA players. Not even just the sharpshooters with great form, but even regular players who are just average shooters look way smoother and more practiced than this, it’s certainly one of the most awkward and ungainly forms in the league this year.
Andre Roberson was a reliable 25% shooter from 3, an absolute sniper in comparison.
The steph of brick assaulters.
Eyesight issues too maybe? It’s like he can’t gauge the space. Of course mental headspace is the number 1 issue I agree
If he can be in the NBA with no depth perception, I feel like my possibilities are endless!
Torturing yourself to not only watch all these, but edit them all together is quite something as well.
More airballs than made 3 pointers is a crazy statistic
The crazy part is that he’s still our second most effective player.
A guy like him off the bench would be great but his lack of offence is clearly affecting this team heavily. If it wasn’t for NAW going off this season, yall wouldn’t be back in the hawks invitational
But I guess Trae was the problem because he wasn’t producing this season, i’m waiting on a Trae Young revenge tour when he gets healthy
Trae played less games than KP and then asked out to get the expectation-less bag on the Wizards. Hawks gave him a chance to prove it and he opted against.
The modern day Andre Roberson.
I’m so old
Lmfao he makes you feel old? Andre Roberson was still playing in the NBA 5 years ago.
Feel like you need a massive asterisk next to “playing” lol
He played 12 total games after 2018
2018 was still only 8 years ago lol not that long. You know what makes me feel old? Remembering MJ’s last game and watching the Kobe and Shaq Lakers. Andre Roberson feels like yesterday compared to that shit lol.
Old ass 🤣
First off I’m not even that old. Second you’ll be old someday too, at least I hope so.
That’s my point, he referred to someone as “the modern Roberson”
Ah I see, I misunderstood. My b
He’s only 34. Damn
Yeah I was surprised by that as well!
Matisse Thybulle - André Roberson- Dyson Daniels evolutionary line
Thabo Sefolosha
He’s the Swiss variant to André Roberson.
The no 3 and D archetype
I think it’s just Delly / Simmons / Thybulle / Daniels ATM.
Idk what it is, but half the Australian players can defend like hell, they just can’t shoot.
Prime Ben Simmons if he shot 3s
Disrespectful to Ben
He was 34% from 3 on 3.1 attempts per game last season. What caused such a huge drop off?
It has to be his touch. His shooting form up top looks consistent, bottom half he doesn’t get enough lift, and when he does, his touch is way off. I’m guessing he didn’t focus on improving the shot more in the off-season.
Even had a quote after winning MIP saying he was gonna win it again next year smh
Would be funny if he won it, then next season super regressed, then the season after progressed enough to where he has to win it again.
Haha infinite MIP glitch
I’m still high on him, but he definitely has to lock in to be the right wingman for Jalen
A guy said he was going to win an award usually exclusive to guys who were injured or just ass on ass the previous season with the occasional scrub becomes a pseudostar rarity/anomaly popping up…. that already should have been a red flag, wasn’t much room left to go up from. Dude thought he was just scratching the surface but didn’t realize he’s already soared into the sun with his play last year. -AST
And that guy was a Hawks player in this case, instant-RIP. -AST
That’s the insane thing. This is his 4th year. He shot over 31% in each of his first 3 seasons - and now… 12.5%.
The only thing I can think of is that Trae has been out, which basically forced Daniels to pick up a lot of the playmaking & ballhandling responsibilities.
or he has the yips. Ben Simmons could shoot in practice. But the lights were too bright in-game.
Ben was so uniquely bad, he misses horribly on warmups. 😂
Ben could not shoot in practice. You had sixer fans celebrating videos when he made 3 out of 10
I think that would come with increased defensive pressure unless you’re talking about fatigue with the increased responsibilities.
You go to any random clip in that sequence and he’s usually wide open. His form is fucked.
Fatigue, defensive pressure, plus being in different spots on the floor & having to consider so many more things at once on the offensive end.
Why would his form suddenly be fucked? It just baffles me. Maybe an undisclosed injury?
90% yips, 10% no Trae spoon-feeding looks
Bro throws the nastiest bricks from 3 in the league for someone attempting this many
He’s just paying homage to Hawks legend Josh Smith
You mean Rockets legend Josh Smith who lead the great comeback against the Clippers by turning into Steph Curry.
Harden got McHale fired for benching Harden during that comeback
Nope. McHale didn’t get fired til they started 4-7 the year after making WCF
Keep shooting with confidence but also put that work in this summer and it might start going in
Wild that 30% of the makes were in his first 6 attempts
he swindled people in his contract season last year
He got me in fantasy bball
I don’t know why people were so high on him. He was only the 8th player in NBA history to average over 3 SPG in a single season and that catapulted his fantasy value. Either people banked on him to produce another outlier season or I don’t know.
Got him off the wire after his first game last season.
This year he was drafted 47th
Humankind, especially sports fanatics claw away at the unfathomable hoping the outlier is the start of beautiful things to come when the spikes and dips are typically far and few in-between. That’s why a lot of people gamble, ride those waves seeking another high braving those lows, hoping you’ve cracked some DaVinci Code unyet-solved TIL NOW. Here, that 3 SPG was highly unlikely to be repeated, but people assumed something like consistent game to game crazy person energy was sustainable unlike the more commonly seen across the NBA levels of “phone that shit in on D” nightly on the average.
Most of the common Defensive Players of the Year candidates have regressed to the hard mean of ass on ass defenders playing just enough D to stay on the court. Guys are saving their energy for Offense at a higher rate, not really some metric easily tracked, but definitely picked up on if you watch even a few games a week across the NBA. -AST
Not a contract year but this is going to happen to Kon Knueppal next year. I believe Kon will be a star but people should definitely expect a drop off in shooting next year. He is currently the most prolific 3 point shooter in the league and has a higher percentage than every other high volume shooter. He’s going to fall off at least a bit next year.
Its not a given Knueppel will drop off in shooting, the kid is really that good. Opposing teams will be putting a higher priority on him on both sides on the ball, essentially giving him the Steph treatment which is very intensive. Exhausting him might result in a lower percentage but It wont be much.
his form looks so uncomfortable and unnatural… guys like spencer jones and bridges (not the baby momma beater one) have weird shots too but it’s consistently weird. this dude looks like he’s solving a math problem in his head while trying to shoot
he looks like he just watched one YouTube video on how to shoot and is now trying it out.
He was always a bad shooter, but he’s attempting a career low this year also
More air balls than makes is insane lol
His contract kinda looking bad now
it’s what no one thinks of when they say “it’s really not bad as a percentage of the future cap”
shit seems like a deal until the dude plateaus or regresses
He’s a career 60.9% free throw shooter, 2 seasons shooting below 60%. normally if someone’s a bad free throw shooter, they’re a terrible shooter all around. he’s only 22 so it’s not like he can’t work on it throughout his career, but yea he can’t throw a rock in a river at this rate.
I know Fantasy isn’t something to go on as a gauge of in-game success, but man, the season he’s having is especially noticeable if he’s on your fantasy team. Like 11/6/6 (assists higher because Trae was out and is now gone I guess?).
He was doing better last year. Didn’t expect him to do wildly well since he’s a defense-first guy, but expected some sort of growth instead of this regression.
The most embarrassing part of all was he had a couple games in a row where he made a three and they did a whole segment in the 1st quarter about how he changed his shot, had a close up of his new form, etc. He immediately proceeds to brick the next 3 and airball the next
Never pay an Aussie
Thanks for your efforts! How does his airball by attempt compare with other players’ seasons shooting a similar volume from deep?
Raps FO putting together an offer
He shot doesn’t look that bad at all. It’s pretty consistent, looks like be just has terrible touching coming off of his fingers tips. I think he needs a higher arcing shot.
If you’re a coach and you’re still letting a guy shoot like that without putting him on the bench, you’re a damn moron. Everyone thinks they’re Stephen Curry nowadays. You need to play your strengths if you want a good career in the NBA. Look at Draymond. The guy isn’t great offensively, but he makes up for it with his intensity on defense.
He shoots with dinosaur arms
At one point he went 2⁄38 rom 3 (0.53%)
5.3%
Yup, my bad here
looks like opposing teams don’t want to block him in case of fouling atm because if he’s free they let him shoot or run up but no real attempt at blocking like just with hand and no jumping
That shot looks tight. And not in a good way.
Yea so many fundamental problems with the shot that are all small but add up and it looks like he is grinding his gears
Meth Curry
His shot 3PT last year wasn’t great, but it was nothing like this. Idk what the hell happened. Hawks assistant GM is Kyle Korver and he’s been seen working with him during practices. But obv it hasn’t helped.
Dyson and Thompson twins should team up so we can have our first ever 0-0 final score.
He needs to get lasik surgery
Keith Hernandez: who is this chucker
Josh smith was better then this
He’s not getting enough legs under his shot. Just a little bit more legs would do wonders maybe try sitting into his shot. Wonder if his shot is mostly arms right now, but his follow through isn’t pointing to where the ball ends up many times. Ugly misses and very mechanical looking like a badly made robot.
imagine they make the playoffs and he gets hot like a 2023 undrafted Miami Heat role player
I’ve been a Dyson sucks truther and even I feel bad about this.
Gabe+ Dyson would be ATL’s savior
He sucks. Said last year how overrated he was. You don’t give big contracts to “3-and-D” players with a weak 3. As soon as the 3 goes they lose all value. Herb Jones is the recent textbook example.
Why does it feel like we’ve been just starting the rebuild for ten consecutive seasons now.
Had an great contract year and is coasting now.
His offense has always been bad. It’s why I had no problem with my pels moving on.
This is Toumani Camara propaganda.
Daniels three never had a chaaaance
How did he regress so badly.
3 pointers have never looked harder to make in my life
So many deep callbacks in this thread. MKG, Andre Roberson, Thybulle, wow.
Coaching problem.
This is hilarious! Nice work!
