2017_____N–B–A–S–T–A–T–S_____2018

melo's fg% has been in decline for a couple years. his 16-17 average was 43.3 (through 74 games)

40.8 is only just under pg's 15-16 average of 41.8 (81 games) though he shot 46.1% in 16-17

russ is russ

i expect paul will go on a hot streak and improve, but barring a complete change in play style by russ & melo all else will remain equal

How absurdly efficient has LeBron James been so far this season?

He shot 52% from the field in 4 games last week. It was his WORST shooting week of the season. pic.twitter.com/l8ANs26nnh

damn

Capella 24-20-3-0-2

rockets r so good rn

Russell Westbrook

0 three point attempts

In NBA history, only 3 players have attempted 950+ three-pointers and made 30% or fewer in their first four seasons.

(Wordy, I know, but hopefully you aren’t confused).

Marcus Smart is one of them, and he’s attempted 4.5 per game this year pic.twitter.com/CA0YOVl1Tj

im shocked theres someone who shot worse

Lol LeBron.

According to @SecondSpectrum, there have been 174 players which have been the nearest defender on at least 30 shots within 3 feet.

Only 2 have held players to under 50% shooting on those shots.

One is the 7'3" Kristaps Porzingis.
Other is the 6'8" LeBron James.

tbf both of those heights are considered tall

i believe the zinger is actually 8'

an even 8, nice

lol lagoon otm

Andrew Wiggins is shooting 9/44 in iso and scoring 0.545 points per possession

If you shot 28% from the free throw line that'd be more points per possession than a Wiggins iso

Dirk has a .546 eFG% this year, the second best mark of his career https://t.co/TlnShl8pOb pic.twitter.com/pXPBrgFYjY

his movement on the court is very hard to watch but hell he can still shoot it

i saw a clip of him arriving to a game and he can barely walk in just every day situations its crazy hes out there playing in the nba

Dirk is just below Wilt on the all-time scoring list. He's probably not going to move past him.

RONDDDDOOOOO

2-7-25

in 30 minutes

pelicans take the crown for the 2017-18 seasons weirdest team

i dont think simmons is the runway ROY at this point, his #s have been dipping of late. obv taytum is up there, kuzma coming on strong, donovan mitchell as well.

all those weird in between shots simmons takes, well

https://i.imgur.com/FlpQ6G0.png

oof

does nba.com not have shot charts anymore, that site is a mess

i cant visit their site it's too infuriating

its really quite insane

https://i.imgur.com/IVob2BK.png

nba.com and that tweet have him taking 9 3s so far where the charts show 1 and 0 respectively?

https://i.imgur.com/k9ijiYY.png

simmons has the shot distribution of dre jordan who decided to start taking floaters

pretty weird for a point guard

http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/3026.png
hello

wow rondo has apparently abandoned the floater, a shot he used to take a lot

https://i.imgur.com/Qc1KKCS.png

i was poking you with the simmons=pg talk.

i remember rondo taking a lot of elbow jumpers w the celts?

lol

ha yeah it just occurred to me that there was in fact a point guard weird enough to play like that

the elbow jumper was the one shot he cld hit (in 2010)
