re: Why doesn't Gentry get more criticism?

quote: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.
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!

You don't have to "suspect". All stats are readily available on the inter webs. Quite easy to find, actually
You will find, after your search, that his sharp decline in efficiency was due to his decline in the 3-10 foot area, not because of the increased jump shots
But don't take my word for it. Go look for yourself.
If you want to critique Gentry with regard to AD's efficiency, a legit criticism would be that he doesn't encourage offensive rebounds, where AD traditionally got a lot of easy points
