Below is an edited Q&A with Lakers shooting coach Tracy Murray about the development of Lakers second-year forward Julius Randle in his jumper. Murray had a 12-year NBA career, including one season with the Lakers (2002-03).
What has gone into Julius’ progression with his jump shot?
Murray: “Slow down, slow down, slow down. But as a player, you don’t know if you’re moving fast until you see the video and until you know the tempo. For Julius, this is really his rookie year. If he played last year, he would know the tempo of the game already.
