Re: some disturbing stats for the young players
Yup, sadly, collectively they are all struggling but I think Clarkson's FG was decent and Russell has improved the past 2 months or so.
I remember checking the stats of the NY Knicks under JVG when they went to the finals vs the Spurs. Most of them didn't shoot well, like 42% but they played hard nosed defense. Lakers unfortunately are also the worst in defense.
