somewhat yes, but i don't think he has the quick release or the ability to shoot off balanced like Korver or Klay does. I'm not saying he doens't have a quick release, i just don't see it as being elite like Korver and Klay and JJ and Steph have. Most of the 3's i've seen on highlights from Kispert he's got his feet and shoulders squared up almost all the time, and i do'nt say that as a negative at all, but more so that i'm not seeing him coming off a screen and jumping from an off balance position.
What Klay and Korver and JJ can do which makes them so great is that they can jump with their feet and shoulders not pointing towards the goal, and they can square up their shoulders in the air, even when off balance. That is a very special skill that allows shooters to get shots off very quickly around screens, not giving the defenders the time to challenge the shot.

when i was learning basketball Oscar Robertson was a role model. so we all tried to jump in the air and turn 90 degrees to face the basket from the side and then release.

it takes fitness and some practice.

if kispert always squares up im happy for him. .too many very athletic guys dont shoot well because every shot is different.
toward the basket instead of dribbling once and getting control. at a different angle. unaware of how the ball acts from one hand side or the other. kispert looks very clever around the basket.
