this nikka expects shooters to put up post player percentages :heh:
Kevin Durant 51%
Goran Dragic 51%
Tony Parker 50%
Lance Stephenson 50%
Chandler Parsons 50%
Belinelli 50%

Steph's the best shooter but he has bad shot selection. When they're not going in they lose, which is why they're 7th in the West instead of legit contenders.

None of them dudes take as many 3's as Steph, so for him to shoot at 45%, that's not bad for him. Especially when he shot 45% from 3 last year. You can't compare to him to KD because can get to the rim at will. Tony Parker is a slasher and a mid range beast. Lance, Chandler Parsons, Belinelli are not first options. Dragic can get to the basket better than Steph and is not going to attempt to take the shots Steph takes because he simply can't. I would say every one on that list can get to the rim and finish better than Steph.

Yeah well that's kinda Chuck's point. You can be the best shooter in the world which Steph is, but thats still only good for 45% and a low playoff seed.

You dont get any extra points for difficulty of shot. :yeshrug: They're pretty when they go in.
