I Can Help Fix the Warriors Free Throw Problem

Practicing bad habits is a think. Those who think it is mental live in a dream world.

In golf if you are worried about hitting it into the lake...you will. Mental confidence through reps and everything you said

Nice!

Yo Alch, Mike Dun about to bring you in as a development coach when he see this video.. I’m calling it now

Alc you should be 1 of the shooting Coach of the Dubs, if they're not finding you you should apply for it.

Great FT Shooters always reflects on their 3pt%, making those FT Shooting form somewhat mechanical for the players would always be beneficials long-term.

“He look like he holdin’ in something here” 😭😭

Imagine being a so so YT commentator and thinking you know something about teaching FT shooting a billion dollar organizations coaches dont

totally agree here. In my own experience and dozen+ years of coaching kids. Tippy toes no good, Feet need to be perpendicular to baseline, parallel, and slightly further than shoulder width apart(supplies balance and peals some energy off to avoid over jacking.) Like all shooting, keeping your elbow straight is key. Ideally elbow pointed at rim to match the natural arm movement. Draymond in the video shooting from center of his body which has a logic but it does point the shooting elbow away from rim. Many FT shooters do one foot a few inches back to turn their body to allow shooting from center while keeping elbow straight. Flow is important and speed change mid lift is terrible. for instance flow is broken by negative elbow angle. I'm a firm believer in bringing up the ball on the same side of the body as the shooting hand. As you see TJD brings ball up on his right and crosses his body to his left hand to shoot which adds a variable that doesn't need to be. Your knees should lock out just after release not before. Arch should be a minimum of getting the ball as high as the top of the box. Your ball hold should start with wrinkles in the back of your wrist. I like to use 2 fingers in the bucket to ensure straightness and full gooseneck release. And lastly, your pre-shooting prep should by done the same way every time. for me that's three dribbles and up while staring at the basket. Short story long remove unnecessary variables from your free throw shooting and know that it is very different than an active game shot. I was a high 80s% FT practice pro but performance anxiety lowered that number considerably. Confidence is half the battle. 😁

Problem with this generation is they dont out in that out in the rain work. All day every day, 3am work. Theres so many cheap tools out there to help with shooting forms. Literally a wrist attachment that snaps your hand for you, ball with hand placement and spin identificagion, arm stabalizer. All for less than $200. No innovation with these people

This is peak content Alch

Hey Alch, I do hope the players/coaches see this video. But I want to say how much I appreciate the tips as well. I’ve never played so…🥴. You’ve given me something to look for when I watch, instead of crossing my fingers and holding my breath.🤔🙏🏻

I will say with JK, ALOT of great shooters are ball watchers when they shoot, including Steph, oddly enough

Practice from a seated position

maybe they should watch Giannis

What about steph he is only shooting 94% he's not supposed to miss this early

Steve Kerr said they don't concern themselves with free throws. Ok, well, making them can be the difference so I hope someone over there cares. I hope they hear this. Also how would you coach Loon to start shooting more?

The fix is so easy.

1) Slow down
2) Practice 100 free throws daily one handed
3) Develop a routine and do it every time
4) Must finish with arm above forehead and hold it until ball hits the rim.

Instant +25%.

Shoulda showed Curry free throws so we can see what it should look like lol

Genuinely great advice.

Cooked

Very informative Alc.. You have a point. I hope warriors coaches sees this one.

Dope to hear you break it down like that Alc!

Kuminga,Wigs and Draymond are the worse

was i the only one lowkey hoping for a steph advice section as a joke?

This guy literally would've been the best PE teacher ever

As an amateur fan I appreciate your analysis of this frustrating “habit” du jour. Hopefully someone on coaching staff will get the memo/video. 🙏🏻

100 freethrows before practice and 200 free throws after practice and 300 more before going home..that will fix the problem

Crushing the analysis Alc.

i am still laughing about looney holding farts pose...

Watching this with the biggest grin after Wigs went for a 30 pt game going perfect on his free-throws. You should go harder in your critiques Alc, I think it's working 😅

Fundamentals get lost in all professional sports. Look at Aaron Judge - “see the ball all the way in”

The Shot Doctor

Basically summarizing it, get good 👍

PLEASE fix the Warriors' FT issues. Thank you.

All the bad free throw shooters need to watch videos of themselves vs the best free throw shooters and compare. Do what the best do…. Then put in the proper time needed. It’s doing the little things that make a Championship team.

The warriors are looking for a Big and Melton replacement. For a Big they have to trade, I understand that there’s no other way. But why are they looking for an outside option to replace melton? When Moses Moody who is shooting 42% from 3 and can defend the perimeter? Riddle me this?

Cam Johnson must've seen your video alch cause he just dropped 37

I’ve been tweeting the same thing to Draymond for so many years. Great insights on everything else!

Wiggs must've watched this. 9-9 from the line against the Pels!

I am not kidding, like you just mentioned, Warriors need to work on their free throw or else it may cause them a playoff or the championship. Work on it now, fix it now and the championship may be in your reach. Let’s go Warriors ❤🎉🎉🎉.

Free throws is their only error this season how the warriors % last when they use to be 1st

Love the way and rhythm you talk, a great channel

Wish the warriors would hire Alch

For kuminga I swear he just needs to take a breath he looks so dead on his first free throw and that’s why it usually comes up short

One would think the greatest shooter ever would be able to help his teammates with their shooting form....something not adding up here.

Yo Uncle Alch, what are your thoughts if donte come back to the warriors?

You’ll never admit you was wrong with your Podz love. I thought you knew basketball. I was wrong. You just kiss up to Podz to please your certain group of subscribers. You know he doesn’t have NBA talent. 😂

Wouldnt it be great if anyone on the Warriors saw this video
