Some fairly helpful items I found were

 

Breaking down 2pt jumpers vs shots around the rim and % of shots made that were assisted.

 

From that I can see

Last year 34% of Tai's shots came at the rim. This year it's 51.7%

 

For the first time in the Tim Miles era we don't have the guy who takes the most shots for us jacking up 3 pointers.

 

Previously we had

 

Dylan Talley 2013 - 56.9% 3pt assist rate

Petteway      2014 - 50.0% 3pt assist rate

Petteway      2015 - 51.5% 3pt assist rate

Watson        2016 - 77.8% 3pt assist rate (Watson has the 4th most shot attempts on the team)

So, we're liking the 3 and loving the rim, is that what you're saying?

I always knew Johnny Trueblood would play at the rim 2/3 of the time.

Tai certainly is.

Overall though we don't get to the rim nearly as much as anyone would like and it's due to the lack of a post offense that is pretty clear to anyone who watches us play.

 

If you're talking about the 3pt% numbers I posted, that's an indication that we are working for 3s in the offense as opposed to a guy just jacking one up there.

I can't even start to validate these stats until the owner of Hoop-Math visits this board. The precedence has been set.

Yep, pretty much. it's essentially a one-ups from the Brian Rosenthal tweet confirmation.
