What is a jumper in basketball? | Term Explained!

preview

Skip to ContentA coach may use this terminology to tell their players to take the jumper if they were open during the game and missed the opportunity to take the shot.&nbsp;Can a 3 point shot be a jumper? Yes! But the further the shot, the less likely the term jumper is used and something along the lines of ” From the Parking Lot” or “From Down Town” is used.The term jumper isn’t used for floater, layups, or dunks either.No, they are actually two different types of shots that are used in the game taken by a basketball player in different situations or circumstances depending on how the defense is playing.&nbsp;For example:The set shot is used in situations where the player knows they can take their time to shoot the basketball without having to worry about the defense.They may receive the pass when they are wide open for a shot and have all the time in the world to shoot.&nbsp;A player shooting the set shot will generally jump very little when compared to the jump shot.&nbsp;A jump shot is a much quicker shot that a player will take. The shot looks like a jump and then shoot. Players release the ball at the peak of their jump.The player may feel like they are hanging in the air and then shoot the basketball.The jump shot is a much more difficult shot to make when compared to the set shot but the trade-off of the jump shot is it’s much harder for a defender to block.Both are used by players when the game presents the needed shot.&nbsp;Both types of shots would be considered a jumper.
