Shooting Form Breakdown Delle Donne

For our team to develop offensively, we need to shoot much better. "Form begets function." Let's review the ProShot video of Elena Delle Donne, the WNBA MVP.



0:24 Footwork to create separation. You play 100% of the game with your feet.
0:29 One dribble into a mid-range pull-up. Great players need fewer dribbles.
0:41 Dribble into jump stop with jump shot...
0:50 Great extension (arm) on the shot.
1:04 ProShot system (turn, not squared shoulders)...this helps some players get better alignment, including pointing the elbow at the rim.
1:10 This continues with a "dip" and "sway"
1:23 She prefers the 1-2 over the "hop". Either will work.
1:55 She may be the best free throw shooter in professional hoop, men or women
2:05 I often talk about "lifting" the shot. Delle Donne is the example.
2:20 "The bank is open."

Great players build their reputation from the repetitions to develop great fundamentals. "Repetitions make reputations."
