Brown isn't playing 25 MPG
I'm not sure how much better of an athlete he is. Whitehead takes more threes and shoots a similar percentage so I think he's a better shooter. Dunn is better within the 3 line though.
I still like Whitehead better. His game is just much more under control. 60 more days.
I would be beyond shocked if Dunn played anywhere near 30 plus minutes.
couldn't be anymore wrong....lebron is elite off the ball...how doyou think his FG% stays so high?

Delly-Lebron high pick and roll just below the 3pt line, defense hedges, leaving Lebron open moving to the basket where he is able to use his elite passing ability to find Channing Frye for a high percentage corner three, as the defense rotates to cover the strongside Delly-Lebron action
Delly-Lebron high pick and roll at the top of the 3 point line, defense switches, allowing Lebron to call for the ball and isolate on the mismatch, as he drain a nice fallaway Jumper to end the half
Top of the key Delly-Lebron screen and roll, the roll man pushes up hard to cover Delly at the 3pt line, leaving an open rolling Lebron who lays it up for an easy 2
Delly-Lebron high pick and roll, defense hedges and promptly switches, leaving a rolling Lebron on a much smaller defender, able to use his strength to catch clean possession and throw the lob down
Delly Lebron high screen and roll, defense hedges, Delly threads the pass to a charging Lebron down the middle of the key, last line of defense big is caught having to respect Kevin Love in the corner, which causes the rotation and rim protection to be late
Double Kyrie-Lebron/Love screen and roll action top of the key, causing Kyrie's and Love's defenders to hedge, leaving Love open at the three, forcing Lebron's defender to rotate over, leaving a rolling Lebron to the rack for a jam
Interesting play here. Not a normal high screen and roll action, Love's defender gets caught sleeping trying to provide help on Kyrie, Love flares to the top of the 3pt line, Kyrie passes the ball to Lebron who is in a big man roll position at the free throw line, forcing Lebron's man to shoot out and cover Love at the 3pt line who receives a pass from Lebron, who then receives to straight back on a roll to the hoop, where the center has to rotate over, prompting an inside Lebron pass to Mozgov for the easy dunk
Kyrie-Lebron high pick and roll at the 3pt line, defense hedges to cover Kyrie, leaving Lebron open at the free throw line, who pops for an open 18 footer
Irving-Lebron screen and roll on the wingm defense hard hedges Kyrie, leaving a rolling Lebron to the hoop who passes to JR open at the corner for a high efficiency 3pt shot, due to the rotating defense covering the rolling Lebron. A great example of how the Lebron Roll Man dynamic allows for his elite passing ability
Kyrie-Lebron high pick and roll at the top of the 3pt line, defense slightly hedges, leaving an open rolling Lebron who scores on the easy layup, too quick for the rotating interior defense
Lebron passes to Delly on the wing, prompting Lebron to set a screen middle, defense hedges middle to cover Delly at the 3, leaving a rolling Lebron, who draws the foul on the drive to the hoop
Delly-Lebron screen and roll on the wing, defense gets caught trying to hedge, Lebron catches open, rolling to the rack, drawing the foul with the spin move attacking the rim
Here's some Roll Man Lebron plays from his game today against Chicago
Delly-Lebron high pick and roll, defense hedges Delly middle, leaving open rolling LBJ who catches, performs a spin move on the drive as the last line of defense rotates to protect the rim, Lebron threads a bullet pass to K-Love in the corner for a high percentage open 3pt shot
Kyrie-Lebron high screen and roll, defense hedges Kyrie middle, leaving open rolling LBJ who catches, drives to the hoop where the defense has collapsed to protect the rim, swings a pass out to Love at the corner, who pump fakes, drives in and dunks the ball. You can see the utter chaos and wreck that a rolling Lebron does to defenses
Delly-Lebron baseline high screen and roll, man defender gets caught on Lebron screen, roll man defender doesn't push up, waits to contain Delly drive, defensive switch occurs in this possession, Lebron is open on the roll for an easy jam to the hoop as the switched defender is behind and too slow to stop the drive. Poor defensive rotations by Hawks to protect the rim (Or lack thereof)
Delly-Lebron high pick and roll top of the 3, roll man hangs back and switches to contain the Delly Penetration as the ball defender gets caught in the ball screen, Lebron rolls to the hoop and catches an easy alley oop pass for 2 points
Lebron does a hand off to Delly from the middle going sideline, then Lebron sets a ball screen for Delly going back middle, the ball defender gets caught in a quality pick, and the roll man defender switches over to contain the Delly drive, who lobs the ball up for a rolling Lebron, who makes a bullet one hand pass to an open Love in the corner due to the weakside defense rotating over to cover the Lebron roll... Love drains the three... Perfect example of how Lebron still uses his dangerous passing and efficient scoring without having to shoot jump shots playing outside in as the ball handler all the time
- Great Delly-LeBron High PnR founded upon a great solid ball screen by LeBron , which got Delly's man defender caught, forcing Carroll to contain Delly's penetration, leading to an easy oop for a rolling LeBron... Threat of shooters on each side of the court... Deadly play; the Middle PnR with spread shooters

elite spot up shooting
no they didn't.They played like that the first year for sure. The next 2, they played with more synergy, the last year wade was injured alot so the dymanic was different.
The 2011 trip to Houston, and subsequent adjustments, obviously worked. The Heat beat the Thunder in the Finals, and LeBron was named the MVP of both the regular season and the Finals. But James wasn’t satisfied. He recommitted himself to improving even more in the summer of 2012. This season, LeBron still loves the left block, but he’s also introduced a few more tricks.
This season he’s back to shooting 3s and fewer midrange shots.
“You know, I changed. I didn’t shoot many 3s last year, I kind of played more in the post, and more in the midrange, but I felt like I worked on 3s enough this past offseason that I could make another change — and the least efficient shot in our game is the midrange shot — so I thought maybe I could move it out, improve my 3-point shooting, continue to work on my low-post scoring, and then leave the midrange to be my next journey.”
James told me that when he was working on his 3s, he’d punish himself until he met a lofty set of self-enforced shooting milestones.
“It’s work,” James says. “It’s a lot of work. It’s being in workouts, and not accomplishing your goal, and paying for it. So, if I get to a spot in a workout and want to make eight out of 10, if I don’t make eight of 10, then I run. I push myself to the point of exhaustion until I make that goal. So you build up that mentality that you got to make that shot and then use that in a game situation — it’s the ultimate feeling, when you’re able to work on something and implement it.”
Last year James achieved that ultimate feeling by developing and implementing that left-block game. This season he’s doing it with his much-improved long-range shot and his continued dominance attacking the basket and finding open shooters. “Our team is built around perimeter attacking, getting to the rim, and when guys clog up the paint, we’re able to kick it out for 3s.”
James is also a very good passer. Using optically tracked performance data from the SportVU system, we can start to visualize this vital aspect of his game. LeBron’s dominance near the basket forces defenses to collapse in upon him, which opens up shots along the perimeter. The Heat decorate the perimeter with some of the league’s most elite spot-up shooters, including Ray Allen and Battier. James is highly aware of the whereabouts of these teammates, and he’s always cognizant of who might be open where and when. As a result, he commonly fires long passes to spot-up shooters in the corners as soon as he notices a collapsing defender.
The reintegration of his own 3-point shot is justified in part by James’s newfound comfort. He’s shooting 39 percent from 3-point range this season, far and away the highest such mark in his career. In Cleveland, James was frequently forced to create his own shot and rarely had good catch-and-shoot chances. That’s different now. In fact, when we look at the SportVU data to see where he spends his time on offense, there are four distinct pockets of space.
Three of these areas are, unsurprisingly, on that dominant left side — on the wing beyond the arc, on the elbow, and on the block — but there’s one anomalous spot on the right. James spends a surprising amount of time in the right corner, a spot usually reserved for spot-up shooters like Battier or Rashard Lewis. LeBron says, “Our offense puts me in the right corner sometimes; in one of our sets I’m kind of in the right corner, or I’m running in transition and D-Wade is handling the ball so I’m kind of giving him space.” Although the sample remains small, James is hitting an obnoxious 53 percent of his shots from that right corner. The league’s most overqualified spot-up shooter is hitting those shots at an elite rate and providing yet another way for his team to succeed.
