Here is a stat that will surprise (and inflame): Based on season to date percentages, Jabari is the 10th best 3-point shooter on the Rockets. Only Alpi/Amen/Clint/Adams are below him.
Surprising stat. He is, however, #2 in three pointers made per game behind only Reed. He takes a lot of them, in other words.
It just shows you how well the whole team has been shooting from 3. And 10th is a bit misleading because some of those guys have extremely small sample sizes. If you count only players who have played more than 300 minutes, he's 6th. If you count only more than 500 minutes (regular rotation), he is 4th, trailing KD, Okogie, and Reed. I think he is the fourth best distance shooter on the team KD Reed Holiday Jabari (Tari might have caught up to him but we need to see how much of his hot shooting can be sustained.) KD and Reed are close 1 and 2. Holiday and Jabari are close 3 and 4.
Easy engagement and gives them the attention they don't get in real life. At some point last year it felt like 90% of posts on this forum was just arguing with the same 5 Jalen Green stans.
Our stars aren’t going to be creating gravity.. OKC’s role players: Lou Dort, Alex Caruso, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Jalen Williams. Will be guarding Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun, and Amen Thompson straight up. Their role players job description seems to include more things.. Without that gravity, our perfect fit role player who’s apparently more valuable than Evan Mobley will just be a free hiding place for Shai Gilgeous Alexander. On the other end, forget about our role player guarding OKC stars (who are also better defenders than him) he can’t even guard OKCs role players in isolation. Make it make sense.
meh, attempts matter and Bari is attempting a lot of shots at 38%+ efficiency. I don’t think it matters that he’s ranked lower efficiency than guys with less attempts. As for guys like Tari and Holiday, they are shooting really well this season. Holiday’s been one of our best 3pt shooters since he joined the team. The big surprise is Tari; I think this is real. Obviously we knew KD and Reed were going to shoot high efficiency. Once DFS gets in mid-season form, we will be a team capable of true 5-out spacing when needed: Bari/DFS/KD/Tari/Reed
Is KD currently generating the 2nd most gravity in the entire NBA? All of Reed, Alpy, Jabari are top 20% gravity players. They do keep these stats.
Stats tell you what happens over an 82 game schedule against the varying 29 other teams playing each 3 or 4 times over an 8 month season. Who decided that they directly correlate to what happens when you play the best team 7 times in a row.. What math were they using..
