Biomechanics work with Josh Green
When Coach Peter started working with Josh his right knee was collapsing via valgus alignment issue. Peter worked with Josh to build a better base and balance on his shot which in turn improved his follow through and accuracy as indicated by Josh’s improved shooting metrics and role on the Mavericks.
