eh not really man
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 01:43 (ten years ago) link
his rebounding numbers are down a little this year but i'll bet they'll...rebound, even still his offensive boards, the more important ones, haven't dipped nearly as much
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 3 December 2013 01:44 (ten years ago) link
his career TRB% is 110th among active players, let's just keep things in perspective a lil'
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 01:48 (ten years ago) link
he's got a nice 9-0-0-0-0 going tonight btw
I thought ryanderson was just shooting the lights out bc Bargnani was pretending to guard him last night and it was the first time I've seen him play this year but he has indeed been killing it
Whatever the merits of Asik the idea that teams should be falling all over themselves to package up their first or second best players so Dwight can have a shot at the western finals is hilarious

Holy shit that Wes Matthews shot chart
The two weak areas he has only taken five and three shots in respectively
Wtf is going on there in pdx

how good people can shoot now compared with like ten years ago is really crazy
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 01:56 (ten years ago) link
So what you're all saying is this guy Anderson is almost as good as Klay Thompson

my theory is its because they came of age w the college three point line on every court tempting them xp
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 01:57 (ten years ago) link
yeah it's funny when people say players can't shoot like they used to because that's obviously false
i was thinking the other day how it's kind of difficult to compare players across eras because players these days are just so much more efficient, like even after the 3 pointer was introduced no one really used it for a while
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 3 December 2013 01:59 (ten years ago) link
Yeah could be that once stats dudes realized the true value of the 3 they started looking for guys who could really bomb it from deep and it's now okay to be purely a 3 specialist
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:00 (ten years ago) link
the nba now is basically the imaginary past purists were pining for all those years, great shooting, tons of ball movement, high intensisty defense, no one with cornrows
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:01 (ten years ago) link
the other day i was wondering what kinda role allen iverson would have in today's league if he came into it recently, like would he still be AI or what
― Clay, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:02 (ten years ago) link
Hah the stats dudes told udonis to stop it with the cornrows. Makes sense
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:02 (ten years ago) link
thing is its not just three point specialists that shoot the three well all sorts of guys can shoot it good to great now

~100 players last season with 35+ 3pt %
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:04 (ten years ago) link
Has the average 3p% increased or been increasing in recent years. Come on stat heads
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:04 (ten years ago) link
im sure it has along w a huge increase in number of shots taken
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:05 (ten years ago) link
in 82-83 mike dunleavy sr led the league in 3 point percentage making 67 of 194 for 35%

--Introduction of Spaulding infusion basketball means that kids on the playground never shot with a flat ball, therefore forcing them to become better shooters
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:06 (ten years ago) link
last year there were 30 qualified players who shot 40% or better, ten years earlier there were 12
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:09 (ten years ago) link
Damn
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:11 (ten years ago) link
Somebody's gonna shoot better than 50% from three through a whole season in the next 5 years
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:12 (ten years ago) link
maybe this year
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:12 (ten years ago) link
the league average 3P% has plateaued at about 36% for about 15 years (but it was really bad in the 80s and early 90s, like a league full of andre millers bad), but the 3 point rate is what's really shot up recently, more than a quarter of all field goal attempts are 3s now
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:14 (ten years ago) link
Actually basketball ref says that's been done. But maybe by someone with 200+ makes?

korver shot like 57% a couple years ago iirc
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:15 (ten years ago) link
Yeah and if course there's Steve Kerr. Those were all double digit makes tho. Wonder what the highest % by someone with 200+ makes is

yeah i guess the improvement in shooting ability has caused harder shots to be taken keeping the average flat, players especially steph curry take shots that no one wouldve dreamed of not that long ago
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:18 (ten years ago) link
Steve Kerr did it a few times, including once w/> 200 attempts

Forgot about the god Jason kapono
Not at my computer so can someone run the search for 200+ makes
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:21 (ten years ago) link
Yeah the emphasis on 3s means a lot of mediocre shooters have been pushed out to the line too I bet
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:22 (ten years ago) link
no one fits that criteria u can plainly see by the last result! xp
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:22 (ten years ago) link
Oh I know that nobody w 200+ has shot more than 50%. I'm wondering what the highest % is.

Reggie only on that list one time. Was Reggie overrated? Feel like his reputation as a 'clutch' 3 shooter papers over his deficiencies as a 3 shooter, maybe

reggis is def overrated but he was a v good scorer for a v long time, got to the line a bunch for someone who was mostly a jump shooter was his secret weapon, kinda a one dimensional player tho
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:32 (ten years ago) link
reggie is a borderline HOFer who got in because pretty much everyone gets in who was any good for a period of time, but he was never a dominant player. made the all-nba third team three times and made 5 all-star teams. joe johnson made 6 all star teams
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 3 December 2013 02:33 (ten years ago) link
i was thinking that klay thompson is kind of doing a pretty good reggie impression this year. reggie in an average year was better but not by that much
