Lots of great shooters don't have what you would call "lift". As for stroke, it doesn't matter one single bit if you are drilling nearly half your three point attempts.Kyle Korvers stroke and height make Buddy Hield look like a ball boy. Hield is great in college but he shot puts half his shots and doesn't really have any lift. He knows this too, which is why it looks like he spent all off season learning how to handle and get to the rim viably.
