WizardofOzParticipantFor those of you that don’t know what the "7 Drill’ is, it’s a shooting drill where you run from sideline to sideline and shoot elbow jumpers. Seven makes in a row ends the drill, but for each shot you miss, you have to make another shot to finish things off. (Credit to bulletsforever.com for the definition).
Maybe he was gassed, but I’ve always said that he’ll need to fix his mechanics to ever become a great shooter. His shot mechanics lead to inconsistent release points (uses uses too much left thumb on his release and has different leg kicks, and has a hitch).

Chilbert arenasParticipantThere is a little hitch in his shot in this video, reminds me of Bayless. That being said I wouldn’t invest much into this. Still going in the lottery.

WizardofOzParticipant^^Was probably gassed. Wizards workouts are known to be tough, at it was right at the end of it.

mosdefParticipantfrom the vid,
Rivers shoots alot better from the left to left elbo rather then the right to right elbo and it makes sens cuz he is right handed

omphalosParticipantHe finished with his right hand on the left side every single time, can’t take a left handed layup? Really? Unimpressed.

estebansfParticipantI wouldn’t put much stock into this since he looks absolutely gassed. Yea, everyone knows his shooting form isn’t perfect, but this just looks like fatigue.

WizardofOzParticipant^^Yeah, all his shots were short. Must have went through all lot before that.

Bmore_DCParticipantquestion…why is Rivers working out with the Wiz? are they looking to move down? or get another mid-1st somehow?

IndianaBasketballParticipantHe has a hitch in his jumper and he doesn’t shoot at the top of his jump…
I saw Reggie Miller shoot without a straight elbow for years, but he at least shot in one motion and at the top of his jump.
I think Rivers’ mechanics need tweaked.

JNixonParticipantI can tell by how much of his right palm he puts on the the ball Rivers is going to struggle some with his efficiency his rookie year. He has a natural shot-making ability, but he really needs a fundamentals lesson in shootin

Neville15ParticipantI’ve said it all along since I first saw him play, he cannot use his left hand at all around the rim which is quite alarming. Watch any video of him and I can guarantee that you will never see him finish with a left handed layup

akhan786ParticipantThat form is alright for long range, but it is HORRIBLE for mid range.
My friends and I were screwing around and started shooting jumpers with his form.
We actually made a couple threes, but shooting mid range felt so awkward because the form feels like you are like trying to throw the ball in the basket.
I can imagine he struggles in one dribble mid range pull up drills because in college the only time he pulled off from his dribble for a jump shot was when he was attempting a fadeaway three.
Also, every now and then you see him finish with the left hand but you can still tell he’s uncomfortable doing it.
It’s weird how unfundamental his game is considering his dad was Doc Rivers.
