Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

He wouldn't have gone second if it weren't for the type of ball they used at UCLA, his shooting numbers were inflated as fukk as a result.

What kinda ball helps u make more shots

What kinda ball helps u make more shots

The ball UCLA used has more grip than the spalding the NBA uses.

But it’s also possible that his percentages with the Nike ball are more true to his actual shooting ability. Ball shot 30.3 percent on 89 3-point attempts using an Adidas ball at Adidas Nations, per Draft Express. He shot 36 percent on 224 triples as a senior at Chino Hills, per MaxPreps. Despite his reputation, Ball’s production at UCLA is actually the outlier of the samples we have access to.

Jayson Tatum in the 4th
-66% shooting
-64% 3PT and +58 plus/minus

Kyrie isn’t the only player in Boston killing it in the 4th

I remember nikkas told me Josh Jackson was better than Tatum

Ain't no way to judge that equally fam, Tatum is fukkin special but if u watch Josh u see some shyt that let's u know that he won't be far behind Tatum in the long run, Josh got game too.

I’m not buying that theory. I bet tons of players shoot better at home and how about circumstances and other variables, the sample sizes aren’t even that big.

Whether you buy it or not his shooting right now is giving support to the theory, his shooting at UCLA looks like an outlier compared to his shooting in Adidas Nations, Chino Hills and now in the NBA.


30% at Adidas nations on threes (89 attempts)....

Harden and Chris Paul are putting on clinics. Harden is having a scoring season that's surpassed Steph's 2nd MVP year so far.

I'd post the stats but it wouldn't even do it justice. Harden goes from supernova to galactic monster when Chris Paul is on the court.

he's not nearly as efficient. not his shooting numbers atleast.
harden right now is 45/40/85
its the first game since chris paul been there that he shot over 50 percent
its reactionary.

I don’t buy it. I think he might have the yips...I’ve seen clips of him practicing and burying shots. They aren’t even close in the games.

Those numbers are monstrous because of the amount of 3s Harden shoots. He's shooting 3s at a higher percentage than Steph and he's doing it on stepbacks, pull ups, and all kinds of wild isos. Dude is rocking over a 62% TS. Using raw FG% doesn't tell you anything about efficiency.

That dude is the reason I don't post stats anymore in bball discussions on this site

Damn near every player buries shots in practice
