    Made 9, missed 4. Not bad. ( I think the made one against China isn't really a floater but just a great shot in traffic, so on shots that look like designed floaters, he was 8 for 12.)

    @heypartner do you have the data on Harden's floater last year? I feel like it was less than 50%.

    51.6%
    116-225

    I do recall some stats throughout the season saying less than 50%, but can’t recall if ppl were actually posting previous yr or not. Harden weaponized the floater last year.

    We could critique how the NBA scorekeepers mark these as floaters, but this query is the way the analytics world grabs the data ... or should. I consider this official source of such queries.
