that doesn't show up in the stat sheet tho. So they don't care.
Russ switches , makes the big man guard his man and then goes in the paint and camps for rebounds.. Its funny how Harden has this lazy he don't play d rep to him but Westbrook don't.

Ingram's PER the last two years is 8 and 13.
League average is 15. The kid has been undoubtedly a below average player since he's been on the Lakers

I am not insinuating for him take 12 3's a game or anywhere close to that. All i'm saying is that in the last 5 games he's turned those contested midrange jumpers into attacks at the rim, which is good and probably what he is as a player right. Would rather him be this than what he was the first 5 games of the season or so.

he's finished one year in the league.......... 9 games into a new season & somehow you feel comfortable calling him a bust. For ANY rookie thats just stupid logic.

He was at the Eagles game in broad daylight in front of everyone yesterday on the sideline, if he was limping then somebody in 2017 would have gotten a video of it. He's playing against the Kings on Thursday anyway.
******* Colangelo strikes again holding him out though. I bet he's scared of playing Joel in the altitude in Utah or some dumb ****

It was Westbrook’s job to box out Kyrie on that 5 point play. Gotta get those FT rebounds though.

He avg 13 on 47% post all star break last year. This year so far 15 on 45% at 20 years old. Good thing you ain't a GM.

My day job is literally data analytics and I can't stand this whole notion of "shoot 3s or layups only" analytics narrative. Some people are significantly more comfortable shooting 2s,
even when it's just a step inside the arc. Anyone who's played ball knows taking a step inside makes it easier. If a player knows they're much more comfortable taking a long 2 as
opposed to a 3, they should take the damn 2.

Doesnt the kid have a shoulder injury to his other arm, why are they making a big deal out of him shooting lefty in a shootaround?

These aren’t open shots he’s shooting though. And if you’re going to shoot a contested shot, shoot the one worth more

He has zero confidence outside of the painted area now. That player from Washington is long gone. I’m not sure when or if he’ll be returning.
Very disappointing.

The whole point of my post was... if he knows he ain't comfortable shooting the damn 3 contested or not...why would he take the 3?

If it was this black and white, sure. But if those midrange jumpers are contested, (Which most midrange jumpers are) then you won't be making a lot of them, not nearly at the clip to justify shooting them. If you're going to take contested shots, midas whale be worth 3 than 2.

You're cool in my book but you rely on numbers way too much. He had a good two month stretch where he flashed lots of upside

what Analytics doesn't take into account is the effect him playing in that midrange more effects the team. Let's say he's taking an extra 3-4 possessions per game just hoisting up a contested three. It puts no real pressure on the defense, he's way easier to guard out there & has a much lower chance of making the shot.
With some of these midrange shots, it's not like he's catching it & immediately hoisting up a contested shot, he's working in that mid range area trying to get to the basket & when he's closer to the hoop hes shown the capability of getting to the basket & getting good looks. Because of that he frces the defense to be way more active & in result it helps open up the offense a little more for everyone else.

If you shoot even 30% from deep, on 10 shots that’s 9 points. If you take 10 jumpers inside the arc you need to shoot 50% to beat that. 50% on 2 point jumpers puts you up there with Dirk & Michael ******* Jordan
highly unlikely.And that’s an example if you’re well below average from deep. If you’re approaching average, it makes even less sense to take jumpers inside the arc.
Ideally, you use the threat of that 2 pointed to get to the rim, where 99% of players shoot better there than any 2 point jump shot and you’re more likely to get fouled, boosting your efficiency even further. But you want to keep those jumpers to a minimum.
