What Brandon Rush Needs to do to Be More Consistent

After watching the last couple games that Brandon Rush has been playing well in, I've finally figured out why he's on some days and off others. He is a good shooter, and being a good shooter means you need to have a rythm to your shot, not just shoot it because your open.

Many times this year, I've seen Brandon just shoot the ball, even when he didn't want to, simply because he was open, and usually those shots are not going to go down. Take last night vs. the Heat as a good example. When he was open he just had a rythm to his shot, and he knew right when he had the shot, that he was going to take it. What was the result? 17 points on 7-9 shooting.

It's the same way with any good shooter. I know for myself I can't shoot the ball unless I know I'm going to shoot it right when I get it. If I just make my mind up while I have the ball, they are usually going to be short, but when I shoot the ball in rythm off the catch, then they are more than likely going in.

All Brandon needs to do, is just know what he's going to do with the ball before he catches it....that way if he has the shot, he can just go up into it and put some points up, and if not he can make a quick decision and get rid of the ball, so nothing like traveling, late passes, or anything like that happens. In my opinion that's all Rush needs.
