20 Players with the Highest Catch and Shoot Effective Field Goal %

I didn't get the impression that aelliot was trying to find negative, just adding context to explain why Parsons was not captured in that data (in response to someone who asked).

 

I don't think it's a stat modifying model at all. It just relies on a potentially smaller sample size.

I think the sample size is enough to garner some insights. But agree with you that it is not nearly large enough to capture the whole picture. Obviously, there are high-volume shooters would not be represented as well in this sample.

 

Furthermore, Play007 is the one who made the thread divisive with his first post in the thread. He asked for aelliot to hand him his ass. Whether or not the creator of the chart cares about the Rockets is irrelevant. Play007 made it into another "poor Jeremy" thread and it blew up in his face.

 

50/50

 

And he "manipulated" stats to prove that point. He just "proved" it against a player you don't like.

 

Not everything is LOF drama. Please relax.

 

Proof that Lin is not a PG.

The "Harden passes the ball at the last second creating a bad shot" is another idiotic narrative pushed around here. LOF or not, Ael is doing a great job spreading truth.

 

No problem taking a negative jab at Harden to make Lin look a little better.

Then complains about people being negative towards Lin by showing more context to the presented stats.

 

how is saying harden passes the ball late in the shot clock OFTEN if he doesn’t like the drive taking a JAB ?? It’s a fact everyone from mchale/morey to a casual rocket fans knows this.

and come one jordnnn you out of all people talking about taking a jab ? lol, its well documented how you dislike LIN (you know it) which is cool - do you I could care less, but you trying to take a peace maker role is hilarious.

 

You knew exactly what you were doing. Pointing out that even though the evil Harden forces Lin into taking bad shots from time to time, Lin still managed to be the best on the team at catch and shoot situations. Basically if it weren't for some stupid decisions by Harden, Lin would have been even better. A negative jab at Harden to make Lin look a little better.

As someone pointed out its a widely overstated fact that Harden forces guys into these situations. Happens far less than many would lead you to believe.

And go ahead and keep believing I dislike Lin. It's always been a subset of his fans that get me. The mental gymnastics, the outrageous stats projections if he were only somewhere else, the disregard for stats that show a negative, the glorification of stats that show a positive, the blame placed on coaches and teammates all for the sake of excusing his mistakes and propping him up to be better than he really is.

Just because I tend to point out how ridiculous these people are doesn't mean I dislike Lin. I have said and still say that I wouldn't mind keeping him as our first guard off the bench. He has his flaws, but has improved where we needed him, including the area this thread was started to show, and think he has a lot of value to our team as a 6th man that can play both guard positions. It would be nice if he were a little cheaper or if our teams contracts weren't setup where it's almost a necessity to move him in order to make a trade happen, but nothing can be done about that now.

 

We know he can score.

How's his ballhandling?

 

Not worthy of a starting PG.

 

Are you the same larsv8 who made those funny comments on culturemap?

 

Possibly, depends on which comments you are referring too.

 

Best rockets performance this post season was Dwight, and it's not even close. Lin had one decent game?

 

wow so if you filter OUT Lin then he doesnt appear in the top shooters, interesting.

so the numbers only mean something if Lin performs what qualifies as a catch and shoot as many times as Dirk and Clay? Do we run the same amount of plays for Lin as GS and DAL do for them?

You should be comparing it to how Beverley performs, and seeing as Bev fits the 3&D mould desired by McHale, and by that assessment Lin is doing well

Don't even get me started on how much better Harden's number would be if we actually ran a ****ing play for him, catch and shoot off some late clock shovel on vs actually running a play to get a man a good look

 

I was kind of shocked to see Lin in there, I thought his "catch and shoot" was a weakness.... BUT...

Aside from stirring up the haters here, I don't see the point of bringing this up.... It's not as if Rockets or Lin fans would now hope that he stays for another season.
