    Great rule. Should add another rule that if you post a Harden/Howard thread, you get free beer from clutch. This way, it's all fair in this forum.

    he does seem very good at the worst shot in basketball - the toe on the 3 point line, 2 point shot

    Lin also had a 14.94 efficiency rating out of 50 PG's that qualified which he came in as 35th.

    Bev was at 33 at 15.42.

    BTW if anyone wanted to now Harden came in at number 3 for all SG and 12th for all players in the NBA at 23.00.

    Can't edit but Lins Efficiency rating but him at 159 for all players. Huge gulf between him and Harden.

    You know that usage rate greatly affects PER.

    In conclusion, the answers are either:

    A) Yes, his jumper is inconsistent.
    B) No, his jumper is consistent.
    C) It's the same.

    FWIW, you can be a good % shooter and still be inconsistent.

    Showing you that Lin is an inefficient scorer so when he shoots 3's and misses it makes him inefficient. Thanks for making the thread so we can post the correlations on the effects of his shooting 3's. Awesome. :)

    hmm

    So if one shoots great some nights then other nights shoots crappy and makes the team lose badly that means that player is inconsistent? :confused:

    better to see a positive trend vs a negative one...however i think we all agree he needed to improve his shot this summer....

    ...we will find out if he has.

    Lin has too many mechanics is his shot..He needs to simplify.When he initiates his jumpshot..his jump isn't consistant enough.Kinda hard to explain if you don't hoop..

    Its almost like he has to see his hands before the shot goes in..

    The best time to release the ball is when you loose sight of it..then all you have to do is remember is the elevation on the jump..

    You are right. The PER is for all scoring. Apologize for the misdirect. :(
