Sad stats...2pt jump shooting percentages

Carl Landry shoots 57% and has not taken a 3 point shot. I seriously question these stats

 

I didn't check, but how could Yao shoot that bad?

 

We take like three 2-point jumpshots a game...............

 

Yao's shooting over 50% for the season and shooting 37.% on 2-ptrs.? Um, Yao doesn't really shoot that many 3's so what games have you been watching?

 

These are only for shots away from basket.

 

I don't think this accounts for dunks or layups which is why the percentages are so low. But yes it seems as a team we're not great at shooting 2pters.

 

I think this is only for 2 point jump shots and doesn't include layups or dunks.

 

I understand, but does yao really shoot that many layups or dunks. landry used to, but not as much. with yao, as many layups as he misses I really have to question his number

 

What happen to your "random idiot" classification? I'm not being sarcastic either, I wish I could make my own phrase under my name!

 

A lot of post moves including shots from the post aren't really considered jumpshots

(Unless Yao does his patented fadeaway jumpshot 7 inches from the rim)

 

I guess AB's 7-12 foot floaters and one-armed semi-hook shots don't qualify, but they're certainly not layups or finger-rolls..

 

It's probably a little too early in the season for this to be reasonable.

Here are the inside shots:

Landry, #3, 75.9%
McGrady, #59, 62.8%
Yao, #93, 58.8%
Scola, #101, 58.0%
Artest, #Dead Last, 37.7%

 

You forgot Yao's hook

 

I'm thinking that floaters, runners, turn-arounds, fadeaways, etc. are NOT considered jumpshots, and so are not being included in the stats. Basically, the only thing that this stat is counting are spot-up catch-and-shoot shots that come from between 15 and 23 feet. If that is the case, then it's no wonder why the Rockets are so poor at it. In Adelman's system, the Rockets are taking MAYBE 10 of those shots a game....MAYBE. And because the system is the way it is, those 10 times it's usually a contested shot, or with the shot clock winding down. It is not a mystery that our team is not good at spot-up shooting....it's basically our biggest weakness on offense, but the system doesn't call for very many of those shots anyways. It seems that Adelman's philosophy is if you're going to be taking a regular jumpshot, you might as well have it count for 3. How many times can you remember a play run to create an uncontested 18 foot jumpshot? Now, how many times can you remember a play run to create an uncontested 3-pointer?

 

Guys these are 2pt JUMP SHOOTING stats.

What fo they consider a jumpshot?

 

on 82games, a 2pt jumpshot has to be pretty far out, like a typical t-mac jumpshot. just clarifying.

Still... Its pretty sad. Everyone should be in the 40-45% range.
