re: Why doesn't Gentry get more criticism?

For someone who is so say "losing interest in the NBA as they get older" and is "trying to find more productive and worthwhile things to do in their spare time" you sure do spend a lot of time thinking about it.

Actually, AD had his highest eFG% of his career (by far) from 16+ feet last year and would have had his most efficient year of all if he wasn't so terrible from 3-10 feet, where he dipped a substantial amount. Why? Oh, because his guards stunk and he had no space. But dem are just da facts. Don't let facts get in the way of a good old fashion witch hunt!

I would suspect that he took a lot more shot from over 16 feet than in prior years. Even though his percentage may have been higher (as was his 3pt %), he traded higher percentage shots near the basket for those from 16 ft+. That is why his FG% overall was the worst of his career. Gentry should not be trying to transform his game into that of a stretch 4. He is much more effective close to the basket.
