15.5 FGAs is a pretty healthy number. Not sure I want Avery Bradley shooting more than that. There are not many players in the league I want to see taking more than 15-16 FGAs per game. Maybe 10 guys. 15-16 FGAs is a big number.
it4 takes around 25-30 but gets to the line. a few more for AB wouldn't be a bad thing if he keeps shooting well.
IT averages 19 shots a game, Bradley 15.5. Not that different. I'd like to see IT's come down, and spread those around to Al, Crowder and KO. They're more efficient. Bradley's seem about right.
he avgs 19 counted shots. He takes 9fts a game, that's 4.5 shots. so about 25 a game. sometimes a lot more, sometimes less.
IT shoots the ball too often for my liking. I'd like to see IT scale it back towards where he was last season. I do not think it is healthy for the team to have IT using all those possessions.
I am a big believer in when players are involved on offense, they are more active in other areas of the game (defense).
This team has a couple of guys (Jae, Horford, Olynyk, Rozier) who can do a little more each to make up for those extra possessions IT is using at the moment. And I think the general well-being of the team will improve if that were to happen.
I agree, and I think IT (along with our team) benefits from him playing off the ball at times, despite it rarely happening. He's sneaky, he's an extremely fast cutter who's great at finishing, and he seems to shoot much better off the catch than off the dribble (if defenders leave him, which they usually don't do).
Smart on the other hand, is a pretty dreadful off the ball player, who we have playing off the ball a whole bunch. When he gets the ball in transition or with the floor spaced, he tends to get in the paint and either makes a pretty assist or puts up a nifty floater. When he
does get to the run the point, he seems to be able to the same thing with a simple screen.
I'd like to see Smart play a lot more point with the 2nd unit, and have IT/AB/Rozier/Green be more of the off-guard. I wouldn't mind seeing it with our main unit either, as it would allow us to have Smart's defense out there without the opponents' defense helping off him as much and forcing him to take so many 3s.
