Ugly FG% and FG distribution so far

[illmatic99]

The bad
Felton: 42% FG, 15% from 3 -- 12 FGA, 3 3pt FGA
Crawford: 35% FG, 27% from 3-- 13 FGA, 4 3pt FGA
Wes: 40% FG--- 13 FGA
Nic: 40% FG -- 10 FGA
Camby: 27% FG -- only 3 FGA

The good
Wes: 43% from 3-- 5 3pt FGA
Nic: 43% from 3-- 4 3pt FGA
LA: 48% FG -- 19 FGA
Gerald: 58% FG -- 9 FGA!
Thomas: 82% !!!! FG -- 3 FGA

What does that tell you? Both Felton and Crawford would be better suited becoming distributors. Guards need to stop chucking and pass the forwards the ball. Especially to Gerald. And Nic and Wes need to stick to shooting threes exclusively. Hopefully, all this sorts itself out with more games.
(I realize the sample size is very small, but I don't like the trends I'm seeing).

I was skeptical of the Felton trade when it happened and Ray hasn't shown me much other than a propensity to make horrible decisions. Really hoping this is a combination of rust and chemistry issues that will get resolved as the season goes on.

Got to remember that PGs need timing and understanding of the "Sweet Spots" for their teammates. I'm not as concerned with Felton as many in here. I expect mid-season for a much different Felton to come in. If we didn't have Crawford, we would have been seriously blown out. It's a headache, I know, but we gotta roll with our punches.

Someday we'll talk about the old trips. It was long ago and far away, like the Wizard of Oz.

Lol I have a ton of stories too. Makes you realize just how powerful the mind truly is.

Gerald has a high FG% because he only takes shots inside he knows he can make. He almost avoids jumpers altogether (a good thing - since his jumper is rancid) and doesn't do a good job creating for himself.

So yes, he needs more shots, but it's up to the coach to run more plays for him, not just have other guys pass to him more.

Now we're finally running, maybe we can persuade Sergio to come back...
