Sorry guys, but there is a night and day difference between Leifson and Seljaas.

Good observation. Looks like a good high school shot but not

Then again, some guys make it work. I just don't think it will happen though.

Horrible mechanics, yes. But he made them consistently in HS, could be a pleasa

10/27/16 9:18am

Are we talking about making open shots or creating open shots?

10/27/16 9:30am

Leifson has been hitting in practice too but yeah i agree, you don't just find

That may be true. Seljaas wasn't really Seljaas either until we saw him do it in

Good point.

It'll take him half the season to get up to speed, but it took Seljaas a while.

If Mika can command double teams

10/26/16 9:55pm

Great point about Mika

I agree they're not the same, but that's not the reason why they won't be

I would have said height and length were the biggest differences coming into

I loved Zac Attac.

Leifson is no Seljaas but he's been consistently hitting that shot all summer. Hats of to BYU coaches for not trying to

Yup

He might be more like a Mike Rose who did something like this I his first

He is not a good defender like seljaas and not as good at shooting

Seljaas was NOT a good defender. He worked his butt off & got better.

Not that he's Curry, but isn't that what they used to say about Curry's shot?

10/27/16 12:17am

Which part. That he had terrible shot mechanics?

Shteve

10/27/16 12:41am

Uhh, no. He's somewhat re-written the book on mechanics, but his form is...

10/27/16 1:52am

Find me one article where he was criticized for bad form

Shteve

10/27/16 2:00am

"Unorthodox" is probably a better adjective than "bad." Here's a bunch, though..

10/27/16 3:15am

To clarify, my original post is calling his shot a strength

Shteve

10/27/16 2:06am

I understand and agree with you... my original point was just that maybe Liefson

10/27/16 3:35am

So did Larry Bird. The science of good bball shooting is mostly between

This is the truth!

10/27/16 4:53am

if it goes in I dont think the coaches give a darn about his shot style

jlbatman13

10/27/16 6:31am

The 0 for 7 at the end was somewhat understandable considering he played

Kougrage

10/27/16 10:03am

How are your shot mechanics?
