Good point on the rebounds, there is a lot more at play here than meets the eye. My point on the math was that 50 percent from 2 results in 0.5 pts per shot while 33.3 percent from 3 results in 0.33 pts per shot. There are only so many shot attempts in a game and I think that gets overlooked.

That isn’t correct.

50% from 2 results in 1 point per shot and 33% from 3 also results in 1 point per shot.

You are correct, duh on my part. Per shot attempt is correct though. And there are only so many shot attempts in a game.

No, per shot attempt 50% from 2 is worth exactly the same as 33% from 3

6/12 from 2 = 12 points
4/12 from 3 = 12 points

Per attempt the value is the same.

Well shit. Back to the drawing board.

Sad thing is he actually started the year well and just went backwards

Still very young.

And playing on a bad team isn’t good for efficiency.

But definitely not off to a good start to his career.
