    John Wall is a lot lower on that chart than I expected. He's so fast on his drive.

    I feel like all of these advance statistics graphs are Lebron.... KD.... Everyone else.

    im confused...john wall has SO many more shots at the rim and in the paint than Steph Curry...why does this chart show otherwise?

    Curry (Shots at rim + 3-10ft): 84/169 = 49.7%
    Wall (Shots at rim + 3-10ft): 134/235= 57%
    Lin (Shots at rim + 3-10ft): 89/150= 59%
    explain ?

    If I remember correctly, Lin was actually 1st or 2nd at ~70% (crazy when you think about it) earlier this season just right before Bev was injured. Has dropped very significantly since. Again, what the heck happen to him. His greatest strength (driving) hasn't been seen in games for quite a while now.

    I should said, before Lin was injured.

    @acshen - author of that graph said it's for games through 1/20/14.

    It'd be nice to see impact of free throws garnered from fouls while driving to the basket.

    Ha, great!

    But we don't have mid range jumpers and 3point snipers. Now the opponents just going to clog the lane.

    Darn it...

    Harden was out injured a few games/more emphasis throwing the ball in to Howard as the season went along = less Lin everything.

    3 guys on the same team that are pretty much elite at the same thing, and that thing happens to be 1 of the 2 tenets of their offensive philosophy. awesome.
