Analysis of Rose's jumpshot...

It seems that the Bulls biggest acquisition in the offseason is Rose's jumpshot. That is what he focused on and it seems to be improving...here is in-depth analysis of Rose's improved jumpshot...

Kind of wish they had those videos at normal speed, sort of hard to compare with what we're used to seeing. Seems like a higher release though, which hopefully means three point range, because his jumper was already pretty good last year, it's just the lack of range on it that was the issue.

Will be interesting to see if teams stop giving Rose the space to take the jumper this year, it felt like last year they still hadn't adjusted to the way his jumper really got good as the year went on. If he can force people to fear his shot, combined with more offensive options and hopefully a better system then he should be unguardable.

Speaking of jump shots, have we had any news about Noah's? I remember the plan was to get him consistent with his existing form last off-season (which worked, his FT% went up nicely) and this off-season to work on correcting his form to something more orthodox.

I hope he works out with Hakeem sometime to get some nice post moves as well just like D.Howard is doing right now(You think he would have asked for his help a long time ago)

I don't see Noah being that type of player. He should develop one go to move in the post, but I don't think he has that repertoire of moves in him.

As far as Noah's jumpshot...well, that is another issue all together. I am more worried about his free throws.

I dont either but im just saying,it wouldnt hurt him learning some new things. It would be sick to see Noah doing the dream shake or something like that though lol. I hope he just gets stronger and isnt backed down as much by people this year and keeps getting stronger and developed like he did last year.If he can at least do that for me then I think I'll be pretty much pleased.

Well his free throws improved because of the work on his shot (hard to call it a jump shot when he doesn't jump and shot puts it at the hoop!)

I don't expect Noah to become an offensive force, but he's not a complete unco like some centers (Tyson Chandler says hi), get him some decent mechanics on his shot and I think he can at least make someone defend him.

I have some video I shot of Noah shooting his shot and practicing it and he actually made some,ill upload the video to youtube and then post it here.

Wow, Rose's J reminds me a lot like how MJ's jumpshot was. Seriously.
The way he panted his feet, his release, his arm positioning.

Idk, might just be me.

I didn't see any pushing off to break Utah's heart going on.
