Jacob Padilla Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Since we're a third of the way through the season, I figured now was a good time to take a deeper look to compare how this year's team compares to last year's. I used shot location and percentage numbers from Hoop-Math.com. Figured some here might find it interesting. tcp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 So, you're saying Yvan is taking 72% of his shots "at the rim"? Define "at the rim" because I think damn near 100% of his attempts have been within 3 feet of the rim. And, according to the stats on ESPN, he's shooting 44% from the floor. Which, as you suggest in your piece, is nowhere near where you want a guy to be. Our bad shooting numbers certainly suggest that a talent deficit explains a lot of our woes this year, though.

If he takes a hook shot that's a '2pt jumper' Jacob Padilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other 28 percent must be "under the rim and gets swatted by the rim" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
