I doubt this stat would reflect the impact/efficiency of Yao in offense. When Yao's on court, the offense is often organized around him. However, his stiff moves make it hard to pass the ball to him at the right time. I often see Rafer or T-mac looking for Yao, then turned away. Many times the attempts to give the ball to Yao end up as a shot in someone else's hand. I wonder what impact the low success rate of passing the ball to yao has on our offense. Someone?
I also noticed that,with a big guy on the court,our offenses often are positional warfare.That is true,Yao have a high shooting rate,more than 50% for seasons.Also with Yao in the center,he can attract opponents' defence,so we surely have someone he is not guarded.That is our offense,especially when JVG's coaching period.As we hired Adelman instead our offense didnt change much.This puzzled me.
I agree with what's happening on the court, just disagree with how it's happening. I don't think it is an IQ or a BBIQ thing with Yao. It's just a physical limitation thing. I can't dominate either, though I want to. I play regularly...sometimes I play great out there, sometimes not. When I'm not playing great, I'm sure it looks like I am thinking too much, or along those lines. I'm not...it's just not working for me. Yao's not Shawn Bradley or Manute Bol or Rik Smits, but on a coordination scale, he is definitely closer to that than to Hakeem or even Shaq. He has that goofishness, lack of coordination issue that comes with being 7'6... Which makes how successful he is even more impressive. I'm also not entirely with you on the system. Adelman needs to vary up his system for this set of players...he can still have a very successful motion system, but it needs to change a bit (again, get Yao out of the high post, make that the PF or even SF's job). While still not blow you way all time great numbers, Yao has had long (month plus) stretches of dominant big man basketball over the past three seasons, entirely when as a low post threat.
