Tinsley 1.03 4 J. Richardson 1.02 Eddie Griffin .92 not enough shots or games for Oscar and Eddie to be ranked, not sure which just from looking at this, my first thought is, why isn't Kelvin getting more shots? Is he getting the ball and turning it over or missing passes? Or too much iso?
i thought Eg would be a little higher because he's a post man but i guess he takes a lot of perimeter shots
I've been actually looking at this stat a lot this year. Its down for the most part. The new rules have hurt the rocks bad here. francis 1.3283568 Cat 1.1392826 Mooch 1.0885769 WW 1.0860082 OT 1.292766 Rice 1.0299401 Willis 1.0748598 Griffin 0.9202475 Cato 1.4221053 Tierre 0.9839394 Collier 3 TMO 0.5689655 DL 0.9090909 Griffin is at 1.24 as a starter.
If memory serves me well, Cat was about 1.28 last year. When he has a bad shooting night, he gets to the line. Not the best stat, but its good to see how efficient players are being. Can we trade our pick this year for Battier? No. Damn, he's an efficient player that in my opinion would work well with Mobley, Francis, Moochie. I'd like to see El Toro play with Francis and Mobley.
Cato would have more attempts if he could catch the ball. Too many turnovers when the pass is made to him leading to fewer and fewer passes made because he's unreliable.
TB, The turnovers hurt, but he also suscribes to the Otis Thorpe "If I can't dunk, I won't shoot it" Philosophy. Cato has missed a lot of dunks this year for his p/FGA to be so low.
