Ryno's more than 50% better at 3P receiving pass from CP3

It's because Paul passes the ball with more love.

 

Chris Paul's passes are right on the money. Anderson can just catch and shoot in one motion.

A lot of Harden's passes are all over the place.

 

edit - nvm

 

If this continues, TNT should break it down. A strike-zone-style map of where Anderson catches the ball when Harden throws it to him, vs. where Paul throws it to him. Also maybe a court map of where Paul throws the passes from, vs. where Harden throws them from. I noticed Paul throwing one from the inside out. Harden tends to go sideways.

 

I tend to agree with this. I would put Harden's court vision more or less on par with Chris', and he may even be more creative as a passer, but Paul's precision is unparalleled.

 

I wouldn't say Harden's passes are all over the the place. Chris Paul's passes are just heat-seeking missiles

 

yeah good thing capela, nene, ariza, and gordon can handle hardens wild passes

 

But only at home!

 

CP3 ‘s passing is just on another level. Crazy precision!! I said a few days ago, I’m sure 70-80% of CP3 ‘s passes are converted.

 

a lot of cp3's passes to anderson came from the direction of the basket

 

THIS and it wasn't just one, at least several of them were

 

Yeah cp3 has a better connection with Anderson IMO. His passes catch him in a shooting motion.

 

Catching a pass in the numbers, and often zippier, definitely helps a shooter. But note: having Harden on the floor with Paul and Ryno is by itself making Ryno more open. Now the biggest defensive worry when Paul has the ball is tracking Harden. Harden and Ryno didn't have that luxury last year.

Also, let's not forget that Ryno shot a NBA LEAGUE LEADING 47% on the road last year, without Paul. He shot 33% at home. So, either Harden hits him in the numbers enough as well (I mean, the pick n pop is a short pass), or the Home thing is a myth, unless we are to believe Paul will also increase Ryno road numbers from 47% to >50%.

This will definitely help Ryno, regardless of reason. I'm hopping he reaches 45% this year, via combination of accurate/zippier passes from Paul, and more fire power on the floor with Ryno, which will naturally make him more open.

 

Extremely small sample size for the love of god.

Small sample size means

Small sample size



Remember when Capela missed his first 19 free throws?
Or when he shot 80+% to start the season?

 

nbadraft.net rated hardens passing a 9/10, when he was a draft prospect

couldnt find a profile of cp3

 

For OP and any other fans of stats:

Peja Stojakovic is very similar to Ryan Anderson, and they both played with and without Chris Paul. What do you see behind these numbers.

Were Bibby, Webber, Divac and Miller all more accurate passers than Harden, and was Peja more wide open due to all that fire power? And did Paul make a statistical difference?

 

It's a small difference, but he did shoot the highest 3P% on the most number of attempts with CP3.
