Given how explosive of an athlete Ivey is, teams tend to prioritize preventing him from getting into the paint as much as possible. With the help of assistant coach Fred Vinson, who is known for being effective at fine-tuning shooting mechanics with players, Ivey has improved his outside shooting and pull-up jumper to help counter this. He’s shooting a career-best 36.6% from beyond the arc, which he credits his offseason work with Vinson for achieving. “Definitely, Coach Fred. He’s worked with a lot of guys on shooting, and he’s helped me a lot,” Ivey told Sportskeeda. “We worked together in the offseason, focusing on improving my shot, and it’s made a big difference.”
