Gordon misses off drives retained possession 47% of the time while misses off jumpers retained possession only 29% of the time.
This seems like it would be true for most players
I'd be interested in seeing the numbers on 15-20 guards. Seems like when you drive, you attract more of the D, giving your guys a better chance at a board. I could be totally wrong but this seems like it has a chance to be the norm for a lot of players.

I think it would be the norm. The point of the article is Gordon should drive more and shoot less, not that Gordon is special. One of the numbers I didn't post from the articles is that Gordon has missed 137 jumpers vs. 101 drives. Flip those numbers and you get 7 more possessions retained this season, which on the surface doesn't seem like a lot, but as we saw last night against Boston, it could mean the difference between a win and a loss.

Not everyone has the first step necessary to make it work. Also, a make is a much better outcome than a 49% chance at a rebound, so the driver needs to hit at a decent clip to make it work. Austin really needs to work on finishing.

He just added a comparison of Vasquez and his numbers are similar
Player Drive/Jumper
Gordon 47%/30%
Vasquez 45%/24%

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.
