The one great thing is.................... ..We are 2nd in Midwest and 4th in the Conference. Mins/gm Mobley 1st 44.0 Way too many! Francis 17th 39.7 Pts/gm Francis 4th 29.3 Mobley 11th 23.7 Rbs/gm Cato 6th 12.0 Francis 20th 9.7 Griffin 45th 7.3 FG% Mobley 44th 48.6% Francis 49th 47.5% FT% Mobley 13th 94.4% 3pt% Francis 24th 42.9% Asts/gm Francis 29th 4.7 Stls/gm Norris 28th 1.67 Blks/gm Cato 5th 3.0 Griffin 12th 2.61 Mobley 30th 1.33 Franis 42nd 1.00 Not a bad start when you look at the above?
Man, that would be great if Cat could keep the FG% in that range. I remember the second half of last season he was about 46%, maybe that will holdover for this entire season. He's still taking too tough of shots though. For the shots he takes his field goal percentage is actually pretty good. However, I think his percentage would be scary if they did some baseline screens a la Reggie Miller to give Cuttino some open looks.
If you consider Cato's productivity (rebounds per 48 minutes), he is second in the league. Even with his slow start, Ming is 5th among the rookies in rebounds per 48 minutes.
The field goal percentage stat is messed up. That isn't including last night. Steve is shooting 49.2 percent from the field, and Cat is shooting 45.6%.
lets not forget that steve is 4th in the league in efficiancy. cato is 30th in that stat (better than jermain o'neal, ben wallace, michael olowakandi, david robinson, and brian grant). and cat is 41st (tied with mashburn, but better than eddie jones , jalen rose, even more efficiant than john stockton). i don't like 2 stats that i found so far: 1. hawkins plays 29 mpg and produces only 5 pts and 3 rebounds 2. moochie went down from 6pts, 3asts to 3pts, 2asts. also-- i thought that eddie would be a bit more productive with kt, Tmo, and moT out.
What is the FG% rank among GUARDS is what we should know. It's unfair to put a C an a PG in the same FG% category, don't you think?
Team defensive stat: Def fg% - 37.9 (3) Def 3fg% - 29.4 (10) Total Reb% - 52.1 (5) Blocks - 8.3 per (4) However practically last in assists.
I wonder if Steve is having any problems with Meniere's disease? His stats seems to say, No, but I was wondering.
