Monty wants AD taking 25 shots per game

Iagreewiththis.jpg

If they would get him the ball in the 4th quarter, he could get closer to that.

Pretty sure behind closed doors, he has broken it down, barney-style. to everyone on that team about 4th quarter, spacing, defense, and not rushing to take stupid shots/ layups (reke)

I'd like to see him get 25 shots a game.

would flap so hard

Agree. He's too efficient. Shooting .600% is great and all but it probably means you are being too picky. Lebrons a bit of an exception because he often makes a great pass instead of the shots in the 40ish% range.

I think 21-22 would be a good range for him to be in. I really can't wait until Monty starts letting him shoot the 3 ball.

Tyreke is currently shooting 38.7% on 15.5fga
In the 4 games he's shot 17, 18, 18, and 19 shots, he's shot: 41.2%, 38.9%, 27.8%, and 42.1%.

Those games were: Loss to Memphis, Win to Charlotte, Loss to Portland, and Loss to Dallas.

Jrue is currently shooting 43.7% (43.8% for career) and shot 19 shots twice. 52.6% and 26.3%
52.6% in a loss vs Dallas, 26.3% in a loss vs. Portland

Anthony Davis is shooting 57.9% of his shots. In the 4 games Tyreke shot 17+ times, AD shot 12 vs Memphis (50%), 17 times vs. Charlotte (58.8%), 20 times vs. Portland (70.0%), and 21 times vs. Dallas (42.9%)

With AD's skills and lack of many scorers

I'm not sure that's right. We definitely have a number of scorers, or guys who have a proven record of being scorers. The problem is that they've been in a slump (EG), were not being used properly (TE) or hurt (JH and Ryno).

TE...17pt career average
EG...17pt career average
JH...13.5pt. career average
Ryno...12.4pt. career average (close to 17pts. starting his last year with Orlando)

With that said, I'll be the first to welcome AD getting the ball more...especially in the 4th. The guy is money.

what have u done for me lately

2014-2015 averages:

Ryno...16.4pts
TE.......16.1pts
JH.......15.3pts.
EG.......9.3pts.

Other than EG, the rest are doing what they do.

Nylon Calculus has a write up with a chart measuring various usage stats

quote:

---

True Usage: Percentage of possessions in which the player is “involved” in the offense either by shooting (including drawing a shooting foul), potentially assisting (including FT assists, but not “hockey assists”) or turning the ball over.

Shot Usage: “Traditional” usage rate – shots + turnovers / possessions.

Assist Usage: Potential Assists (incl. FT Assists) / possessions,

True TO%: Turnovers as compared to possessions used either shooting or passing. League average is around 9.7%, slightly lower for PGs, slightly higher for bigs.

TOP%: Time of possession relative to the players entire time on the court not just when his team is on offense. Average time of possession is just over 7% as according to SportVU, the ball is only “possessed” for about 37 minutes of a 48 minute game.

Shot/Touch%: Percentage of front court touches ending with the player shooting.Varies widely by position and role (and does not take into account offensive rebounding, which explains the high numbers for many big men, though not Kobe’s chuckerific early season.)

Davis rates out at 34.8%, right behind Pau Gasol and CJ Miles. Right ahead of Devin Harris and Jared Sullinger. Evans and Holiday are at 48 and 41. Anderson at 32. For reference, the highest non guard is LeBron at 51%. Carmelo and Griffin are next at ~45%, then Cousins at 43%.

Davis is first in Shot% at 29.7. Davis is right behind at 29.5

Davis is 4th and Anderson 8th in Shot/Touch%.
