Why does Rafer Alston shoot so many threes?

oh my god
that field of blue is a dagger in my heart

 

Why did you mention Yao???

 

yeah he gotta cut back a bit on those three. unless hes red hot from the 3 point line, he should be limited to no more then five 3 pointer.

 

This is the funniest thing i have ever seen in my life.

 

Get Steve Nash here! Rafer+Vspan for Nash! Throw in JHO if PHX is willing to trade Marion too.

 

proof is in the hot dog matt!

 

OMG look at all that .3 .2 .33 .2's on that chart. probably deke can even shoot better than his % if JVG allows

 

Shouldn't that really be labeled the "not really ever hot at all zone" in this case?

 

He is open. He should shoot. He just sucks!

 

They just need to drop the s in hotzones to make it, Rafer's hotzone.

 

we need to set a play where our own players trap rafer in that red section and force him to shoot the 3 there

Compare Rafer to Deron, and that is how we lose

 

Someone needs to show Rafer that chart

 

-sigh- I want a real PG

 

That is disgusting. I bet he has the worst shot chart in the whole league.

 

He is sitting at the end of the Rockets bench....JVG doesn't trust him......too bad the team is not going anywhere this year and JVG failed to develop him for next year.

Rafer's hotzone is the top of the key.

So why does he take twice as many of his 3 pt shots in the elbows?

146 shots from the left elbow and 153 from the right elbow.

 

He shoots significantly better from beyond the arc. That's why.

 

The answer is confidence. I hope he keeps that. It is JVG's job to limit his shooting.

 

Can someone compare V-Span and Rafer and post their hot zones here?
