    This guys stats are wrong - Way Wrong.

    Really have to be careful believing the random crap these "Content Creators" post.

    "only open on 12% of his 3's"

    According to NBA.com - Players Shooting Dashboard Closest Defender +10 | Stats | NBA.com

    EG took 301 3's last year.

    196 of those there was no defender within 6 feet making 84 (.428)

    94 of those no defender within 4-6 feet making 37. (.394)

    11 shots with a defender within 2-4 feet making 3. (.273)

    0 shots with a defender 0-2 feet.

    He took 65.1% of his total 3 point shots with no defender within 6 feet.
    He took 96.3% of his total 3 point shots with no defender within 4 feet.

    He took 3.6% of his total 3 point shots with a defender "closer than 4 feet"

    That's being "open" a hell of a lot more than the 12% this guy claims.


    When this is the kinda stuff reported, its easy to see why people complain about Silas ....

    In addition to Elvin Hayes, Calvin Murphy and Rudy T were also original San Diego Rockets.

    “To paint the full picture of this rich Rockets history, you’ll have to go back to the very beginning,” said Houston rapper Tobe Nwigwe while narrating today’s unveil video from the team. “That thread wasn’t always red. In 1967, gold didn’t signify two championships, and green wasn’t just the last name of a star in the making. Those were the colours of a new NBA franchise surrounded by palm trees in sunny San Diego.”

    Worked with Morey and D'Antoni when they were with Rockets.

    That's a plus.

    It's still pretty good for a 32 year old.

    The word 'elite' has been overstated but he was hardly the first one to do that for a player.

    I wasn't criticizing EG at all.


    I was criticizing the dude who posted the stats that were flat out incorrect.

    He stated EG was open on only 12% of his 3 point attempts. That is a complete and total falsehood.

    NBA stats show that EG was "Open" on 96.3% of his total 3 point attempts.

    Only 3.6% of EG's shots were "contested".


    The point of my post was that you cannot simply believe all the stats that some random clown on twitter posts and there is a contingent of people around here run around spewing these numbers like they are gospel.
