He also relies on his right hand on the left side a lot. While I do think the inside hand finish (right hand finish on left side) is a great tool, there are instances where a left hand finish is needed. Those are a few examples where Tyus Jones should have used his left hand.
It is obvious than Tyus Jones has been working on different ways to finish around the rim. He needs to keep working on those, as well as adding some more left handed finishes to his package. The way I would do that is to implement a warm up routine based around finishing. A lot of touch finishes with his left hand to start with, building up into some game like finishes. I would also emphasize left hand finishes in the rest of the workout, as well as consistently showing him game clips of where he should have used his left hand. However, we must be careful to not spend so much time on his left hand that we forget to improve his finishing as a whole.
