Yep he is and looking at the last two games the Cavs might be the best passing team in the league. I told folks just give them a year to implement a system and they would be fine. They had to do all that ISO ball last year cause the dam had so many moving pieces.

Richard Jefferson making noise? :wtf:

Jefferson has been an elite 3point shooter the last 5 years. He shoot 42-45% in his 3 years on 4.3-4.9 attempts per game on the spurs. In Utah he shot 41% on 4 attempts per game. He shot 43% on 2 attempts per game last year in Dallas. He's really become a great shooter, don't sleep on him.

OFFENSE:

  • He shot 43.2% on catch and shoot threes, 20th out of 258 players who shot at least 1.5 threes per game (he was 41.1% last year). That's better than what H. Barnes, Hayward, Middleton, Beal, Isiah Thomas, Harden, Dunleavy, KMart, Manu, Parsons, etc., shot. NOt too bad.
  • He shot 52.1% on WIDE open threes, although he only shot 29 of them and 40.5% on open threes. He shot 43.6% on wide open threes last year and 41.2% on open threes.
  • He produced 1.07 PPP in spot up situations, good for 47th out of 131 players with 150+ possessions.
  • He's still good in transition. He produced 1.30 PPP in transition, 21st out of 192 players who had 70+ such possessions.

DEFENSE:

  • Opponents shot 1.1% better against him than against everyone else and 1.5% better on threes. He was awful last season (+4.6% and +4.7% on threes). It seems that playing for a "contender" helped him try harder on defense.
  • He was decent in ISO defense, giving up .80 PPP, 44th out of 104 players who played at least 65 ISO possessions.
  • He was good in spot up defense, giving up .90 PPP, 41st out of 136 defenders who played 140+ such possessions (ahead of Carrol, Beal, Westbrook, Klay, Tucker, Ariza, Iggy, Hayward, Batum, Giannis to name some).
  • He was poor in handling pick and roll, giving up .95 PPP, bottom 13% in the league

Look at those numbers on wide open threes. He's already had 5 open threes and 1 wide open one and has made 5 of these shots. He only had 78 open or wide open three attempts last year in 74 games played. If he plays 74 games this season, he's on pace to take 468 open or wide open threes. Now, we know he won't get to that number, but still, we know he's getting open looks and has been knocking these down for a while. He struggles on defense but in spurts his offense helps this team.

I told that to a dude last week.. Grizz are outclassed in too many position and their strong position is a close match...

And they got done without 2 starters... It's not their numbers the cavs have they have their souls.
