Harper's shooting

[PatrickRU92]

was it my imagination today or did RHJ have a different, higher arc than what he usually does?

His shot is generally a bit flat, seemed like he got a little more air underneath it today. Not sure if that was a conscious, coaching thing or maybe his legs were stronger today

There was one that was a line drive, but the other four definitely had more arc.

I was saying to my son this morning that, last year, when Ron was shooting horribly in the first half of the season, he was shooting line drives, and it's when he started getting more arc that he turned it around last year.

He was definitely in a slump after Iowa, and the past few games before the loss against OSU, he had been bricking everything, and it resulted in him "aiming" his shot instead of shooting freely. But he hit a couple of late threes against OSU, and I think it gave him some confidence coming into this game. Today he had a nicer "stroke," and the arc was definitely better.

It will be HUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGEEEEE if we can have both Baker and Harper hitting on all cylinders come tournament time.

Agree 100% when he is on his shots definitely have more arc

Much, much better arc. Actually assumed the shots were going to drop.

When he sets his feet, it’s a beautiful stroke.

would love to know if dad had a talk with him.. or asked a friend to call.

His shots seemed to have more “go-in-ness” today.

Was great to see RHJ back today. Just shows what a difference maker he can be. Hopefully he stays hot the rest of they way because he is a huge positive when he contributes like this.

 

[Night Man]

noticed this as well

If Harper plays like this, and he is definitely capable, we can beat or play with any team in the country including the so called 1 seeds . What a great game but an absolutely great second half.

When he sets his feet and gets his legs into his shot ..the arc increases, the lone drive goes away...and the shot is a thing of beauty

 

[JavaDunk18]

Told you he shows flashes of brilliance, and his jump shot was going to get more consistent..he was also getting behind D for some nice dunks.
Tough rebounding too....Sky is the limit,
maybe 2nd round 2022 NBA draft pick Miami Heat..
Yes, if he and Geo are both firing, look out...

Hair?

Was going to say, he found a hair style that worked.

 

[Yeah Baby]

When legs are tired the arc tends to flatten.

had to listen on radio live - but watched replay.......

The 3's were fantastic...and game-changers......... But, have to admit... I was waaay more impressed with his play down low..... couple series there he totally dominated under the rim..... wow!!!!
