Knockdown Shooters You Must See

Sometimes a team just flat out needs a bucket. That's what these players below specialize in when they get to their spots. Their opponents are best not to give them any sort of space, because given the opportunity, they will capitalize and sink shots consistently.    Kayden is an incredibly dangerous player offensively because he can light up his opponents from mid-range and beyond the arc, but he also has the speed and handle necessary to break ankles and blow by them if they decide to close out on him completely and eliminate his shooting space. He's excellent at getting to his spots and creating his own shots, which is a huge help in keeping his team's offense fluid and consistently flowing. White has a lethal spin move and he's an extremely smart and patient player - consistently working to find the best shots available every possession, whether that be himself taking the attempt or an open teammate. I expect Kayden to turn a ton of heads next season and I'm excited to see him continue to develop and get even better.     Bryce is a knockdown shooter from beyond the arc and he can get hot and stay hot in an instant. He uses his incredible footwork against his better defenders to create the space needed for him to rise for an open jumper in the paint or from mid-range. He can drive both directions and lay it up with either hand which adds to his offensive versatility. He's got nice court vision and takes every opportunity he can to elevate his teammates and find them open attempts. He has a solid build for a guard and he uses that in the paint to get himself and his team extra opportunities to score. He's got a nice arc on his shot, which allows him to get the ball up and over the lengthiest of his defenders with ease. Wood is set to have a stellar showing next season and he's absolutely one to catch live if you get the opportunity.     Knox is a lengthy guard with the ability to elevate over his defender and get shots off with ease or use his quick first step to blow by them and get a solid opportunity at the rim. He's a lights out shooter from three point territory and he can get on a streak in a hurry. He's got a beautiful rotation and arc on his shot and it's an absolute pleasure to watch. He moves well without the ball and knows how to get to his favorite spots easily. Riemondi has a nice passing ability as well, consistently finding streaking teammates for automatic buckets and raising their game in the process. He's effective with his pump fakes and step-throughs and he's got a keen ability to sink the reverse layup. Knox is a ton of fun to watch and I expect him to have an excellent overall showing next season.     Ian is an absolute sharpshooter with SCARY accuracy. One of the craziest parts of his game is that he doesn't need to be set or perfectly composed to get a shot off and touch nothing but net with it. He can literally jump off the dribble and put up a pretty jumper as if he had been wide open on the attempt. He has impeccable form and a quick release, which makes him an extremely frustrating assignment for his defenders. He uses his quickness to create shots and he doesn't have to exert too much energy doing so because of how fast he actually is. Joshua makes the game look easy and he plays with a style of grace that is wonderful to watch. I can't wait to see the waves that Ian makes next season. I imagine they'll be large and he'll have plenty of folks talking about his game.     Jaylen is a guard with a beautiful spin on his shot that can sink it with ease from multiple areas on the floor. Those that leave him open better prepare to hear it from their coach because he'll swish it every time on them. Crittendon is an incredibly well-rounded player, his marksman shooting ability is just one facet of his game. He's one of the better passers I've seen recently with a high basketball IQ and court vision that's off the charts. He makes his teammates look good and he has fun doing it. His ballhandling ability is amazing and he shows no fear on the hardwood. He has quick hands and can create steals regularly and defend with the best of them as well. Jaylen is going to keep putting in the work and getting better and better and will turn plenty of heads in the process. I'd be shocked if his showing next season was anything but incredible.
