I had read from NBA.com that he was leading the league, but the next closest I could find was Trae Young who is 23-49.
Someone like Jalen Brunson is generally considered to have a really good floater and is currently 12-35, Jerome has completely mastered this shot over the last couple seasons
Remember when Memphis had Ja & Tyus Jones, and they were called Team Floater?
I wonder where Ty Jerome’s makes & attempts on floaters compares vs those guys best seasons a few years ago.
Statistically what Ty is showing right now should be far better. Smaller sample size though.
Brunson is having a horrific year from floater range so far. He’s usually much better
It was interesting hearing him with Zach Lowe talking about how in college he would practice off-balance floaters endlessly, and you can see exactly how that has translated to his game and his shot selection.
Its a super important thing for the short guys to do. Once you go inside you aren’t bullying anyone inside so best to perfect the meh shots
Yup, Brunson also has an arsenal of floaters
Gotta respect that he’s been on that grind since college working on his game and finally is getting his shot as a starter 8 years into his career.
Antwan Jamison in a PG’s body.
11ft rims
He was doing the same thing with the Cavs on the 60+ win season. Dude was amazing. Sadly he cant be healthy for 2 straight seasons
I’m still rooting for him as well. The current NBA schedule isn’t kind to guards, especially ones with high upside/usage.
Dude has seriously elevated his game this year
Memphis looks way better than I expected them too
Somehow he’s elevated his game a little bit more for 3-4 years. I love Ty (UVA guy) and I never thought he had this in him. Ecstatic to have been wrong
That was his signature at UVA, it was such a beauty watching it float up or off the glass in the most ridiculous way for three seasons.
Never would’ve guessed he’s the best scorer from that team today lmao
As an Auburn fan
That team still gives me nightmares
UVA represent.
ty jerome’s floater game is so smooth, it’s become his whole bag lol
Tysanity Jeromesanity
Yet he’s not top 10 in mvp conversation why
Cuz nobody thinks he’s gonna average 30 all season lol.
Then put him in for as long as he does for the vibes I want a time where I can read “Ty Jerome, top 10 in MVP convos”
lol I stopped watching after the first bucket because in every single place in the world aside from the NBA, that’s a travelSo annoying
The fuck are you talking about. When he stops dribbling he has his pivot foot which he uses to step and jump. His back foot is allowed to leave to shoot, otherwise all 2 step layups would be travels
Is that Ty Jerome or a potato with arms and legs? I can’t tell.
