Surprise! Tyler Zeller is the NBA's 6th-best shooter from 16+ feet

[rollie mass]

zeller shoots wide open at beginning of game ,hits a couple  and misses and just stops-but it must bring bis out,he shoots his outside shot like his fouls shots,
very methodical with consistent form and accurate but pushed out of comfort zone,thats another story-

[jeezem]

Gasol beat the Cavs being able to shoot that consistently in their last game.  Not that Zeller is Gasol, but it is a very valuable shot for center to have.

It's definitely valuable, though you've got to credit / blame Blatt for clearly instructing his team to give up that shot.  Blatt decided to let Chicago live or die by the deep mid-range shot, and Chicago lived.

At least 20 shot attempts?  What did he have, 30?

91

the numbers are not full season, on the season from 15-19 ft he shot 46.2%. limiting this to player with at least 20 attempts he finishes 53rd. limiting to 91 or more pushes him up into a tie for 24th. that is good for a tie for 3rd on the team, or tied for 1st among players on the team with at least 20 attempts(Olynyk also shot 46.2% but on only 52 attempts)

good job  TP
where did you get the stats?

it can be a bit overwhelming at first but once you figure out how it works the possibilities are nearly endless.
