    Hint
    He has eliminated his midrange jumpers in favor of the 3-ball and he's attacking the rim off the spacing. Very simple but effective change to his game.

    Cant read your text, it's black (on black background). All I know is he is 7ft tall and shoots more 3's than he gets rebounds, which is a joke.

    Thanks. Actually if you look at basketball reference he's basically eliminated everything from ten feet out to the three point line. In other words he shoots threes or he gets inside the paint.

    Is this cryptic for Brook Lopez to the Rockets?

    Another non defender, non rebounder would fit in well

    As I said in the Lin thread Atkinson deserves to be in consideration for COY. Lopez didn't wake up one morning and by himself decided to shoot 3s.

    BKN with the worst talent in the league : 4-5 with one buzzer beater loss.
    Houston with a top 5 player : 5-4.

    [FACT CHECKER]

    fwiw: Schuhmann is not really proving a point by showing relative %s. Showing us relative % does not mean he has more FGAs from the Restricted Area. It is just a % of shots stat. He could actually have a reduction in restricted area FGA, and still show an increase in % to other shots.

    In fact, that appears to be the case. nba.com stats says it is about the same from last year (mpg adjusted) and bballreference says much less within 3'. Also, he getting much less in the Paint.​

    [/FACT CHECKER]

    Was Schuhmann's point that Lopez is improved this season because he has more FGAs in the restricted area? I thought he was just implying that Lopez has been more efficient on offense this season because he's eliminating the inefficient long 2 based on shot distribution.

    Overall Brook is down on FGA from last season (15.8 down to 14.1) but I think that's more due to Atkinson's insistence on running motion and less post ups. Brook's effective field goal % is up from .515 to .587. His True Shooting is also up from 56% to 59%. It's basically what Morey has preached, layups and 3s.

    The one argument you can make though, is that shooting the long 3 so much will hurt his rebounding numbers, which it clearly has this season.

    TBH. 4 wins is almost half the wins I expected that team to have by the end of the season.

    His tweet says "He's getting more shots at the basket too." That is not true. I'm just Fact Checking the tweet.

    Fact Checking is not judging what he said, only the facts he used to make whatever point he's trying to make.

    The fact is, he's 7ft, shoots more 3's than he gets rebounds and is never on good teams. But.... CROWN HIM! Hurry, crown him now, before he goes down for the season. Lulz.

    abandoning the mid range game, restriccts himself to layups and threes and fts, doesnt rebound or defend, has an extensive injury history..i think we found our center. he's a perfect fit
