I've always noticed Bari's form being a bit different from other players but i never noticed how high his guide hand placement was. To my knowledge this hinders shot accuracy, guys like lethal shooter who have trained numerous nba players heavily advise against doing this, does he know something we dont or why does jabari place his hand in an area where he reaches over the top of the ball, effectively adding an odd spin to the ball at best and at worst it just realigns his shot so he has to aim to one side of the rim in order to sink something

And yes u can say “well he rearranges his hand as he jumps for his shot so it doesnt mess with the line” but thats still a way to disrupt your shot, he shouldnt be pulling his guide hand at all during his shot if he is, the guide hand is supposed to be as stagnant as possible, in line w the rim and steady as a rock. He has a great stroke but i think he should work with shooting coaches to correct this bad habit
The hand is literally in the way of the shot, so it seems like extra wasted effort to pull it off in time. But if that’s his way who are we to say
