John Petty can shoot a basketball. He failed at that last year b/c of something in his head. When he figures that out or stops worrying about it, they'll fall again. Coaches telling him it's going to be okay won't help him. He has to get over whatever it is, the speed of the game, fear of failing...whatever it is.

See Aaron Gordon. Got the yips in college shooting some 45% FT despite hitting some 70+% in practice. Gets to the NBA and his FTs are just fine


If you practice it, the buckets will come
