I'd be interested in seeing the numbers on 15-20 guards


He just added a comparison of Vasquez and his numbers are similar

Player Drive/Jumper
Gordon 47%/30%
Vasquez 45%/24%

quote:

The similarities in Vasquez’s data shows us that the high Repo rate from Gordon driving to the hoop may not be as impressive as we originally thought. Instead, it appears to further support the notion that driving to the hoop exerts more pressure on a defense and leads to a better rate of second chances. This still illustrates how important it is for the Hornets guards to get into the lane and force the defense to contest shots.

i didnt read the article, but does it at least mention that perhaps defenses are preventing him from the lane? i'm sure they know the guy is quick and can drive pretty easily. i'd have to imagine defenses are forcing him to take contested jumpers.
