NBA Statistics: Nuraman Thread, Part Deux

[MHSL82]

Nuraman! I have a research project for you (kidding, only if you have time/interest). What is the worst start to a career field goal percentage wise? Obviously 0% as many miss their first shot(s) - but Anthony Bennett is 0-15 to start his career as the number one pick in four games. He has so few minutes and shots - that I know can have an effect. Taking eight three pointers doesn't help at this stage.

Does anyone know how a player can average 2 assists per game and 2 turnovers per game and have a 2.11 A/T ratio? Makes no sense. (These are postseason numbers in less than half a game per game.)

Terrence Ross screwed it up.

Jeremy Lin Stats - Houston Rockets - ESPN

Easy. Sefolosha + Westbrook were guarding Lin, compared to the other wing players that guarded Lin during the 82 regular season games.

Lin did have better regular season A/T splits in the 3 regular season games against the Thunder, but those are regular season games. They don't mean much.

I was just talking about the math. Wouldn't 2 assists per game and 2 turnovers per game equal a 2/2 ratio, aka 1.0 A/T ratio? How did they get the 2.11 ratio for that year?

They were using regular season numbers for that ratio chart (below), even though the grid said postseason numbers.

Thanks.

I've been really busy lately so I'll get to the messages when I can give a more meaningful response. Two kids are great but take a lot.
