re: What is this team good at?

Good Points

Rebound Rate is best in the league. In addition they are second in offensive rebound percentage. So we have the best rebounding team in the league.

FT attempts/gm is fifth best in the league. We get to the line. (Sadly we are the third worst in FT shooting percentage)

Opp FT attempts/gm is sixth best in the league. We don’t send our opponents to the line.

Points in the Paint we are twelfth best in the league.

Opp Points in the Paint is best in the league.

Defensive Efficiency is 11th in the league.

So Stan is right in general as they just need to cut out stupid turnovers. I also think the role players need to hit wide open 3 pt shots and the team would be extremely successful and competitive. The team is the worst in the league in 3 pt%. Other teams are scoring a league best from the 3 pt line, but not with a spectacular percentage. So really Stan’s philosophy is sound in that regard.


So I think our ailments are fixed with our role players not being screw ups. Don’t turn the ball over or you hit the bench. Make your wide open 3 pt shots or you hit the bench. If our role players can’t do that easy task then get rid of them and acquire/trade for new role players.
