James Young had never really thought much about his shooting stroke. Before he got to Kentucky he had always, well, just shot the basketball.
Now, Young is more aware of his mechanics. He can feel when he doesn’t keep his shoulders forward. He knows when he jumps or lands or just one foot.
“I think about it a lot recently, how I’m shooting,” Young said. “I’ve just gotta clear my mind a little bit and just let it go.”
It’s not that Young has been ineffective. The freshman guard is averaging 14.2 points and getting to the foul line nearly five times per game.
