much praise has been given to "scolandry" while comparing their combined average to that of superstar forwards and centers around the league. i'd like to turn your attention to the "lowrooks" combination. PPG: 26.5 APG: 10.2 RPG: 5.6 SPG: 2.04 3%: .352 FG%: .430 TO: 5.07 of course i'd like to see the turnovers brought down. closer to 4 would be really nice. lowry has really worked on his long range game and its earning him more minutes IMO, while brooks has become a decent play maker. like scolandry these two guys have worked on improving their respective weaknesses to the point where it doesn't seem that there is a clear cut starter and reserve, rather a 2 headed monster that causes a lot of problems for everyone else in the league. the rockets get all-star production from the PF and PG positions. i believe that to be a big reason why they have been able to survive without yao and tmac. the rockets 2 superstars this season: scolandry and lowrooks (unless someone comes up with a better name for the PG combo!)
Lowrooks also average 59 minutes a game. I want to see superstars top that! Amazingly enough, that's actually higher than Scolandry's 55 mpg. Per 40 minutes, their stats PPG: 17.9 APG: 6.9 RPG: 3.8 SPG: 1.38 3%: .352 FG%: .430 TO: 3.43 Pretty good, but hardly overwhelming.
Brooks and Lowry play a lot of minutes on the floor together, so I don't think it makes sense to just add up their stats like that. A weighted average of their per-minute stats would give a better idea of their combined production: Per 36 minutes it is: 16.2 ppg 6.2 apg 3.4 rpg 1.3 spg 3.1 tpg 15.9 PER Not really elite production, but solid.
If Brooks/Lowry were combined into a single player that plays about 36 minutes a game, the "Brooks" part of that combination would not be playing 34 minutes. More like 20.
Micro-Broowry is awesome! also, sorry for simply combining their stats, but math was never my best subject and you guys got the point anyway
I am actually dreading the return of Yao and Mac to a point..... This team is soooo much fun to watch. Run and gun style! No more sluggish offense!
I'm dreading Yao and Mac's return because they might not be who we thought they were... You're onto something... Repped
.43 FG% is just ok. Considering the TO and the high FGA, I don't like the performance. We need to feed the ball inside to improve offensive efficiency.
