Wade takes shot at Chuckbe, Brickbrook?
[QUOTE][B]Quote of the Night[/B]
"I hate that I really value efficiency. Because I look around the league sometimes and I see a guy shooting 41, 42 percent from the field and I'm like, 'Wow, they're just hoisting up shots and they don't care.' I guess that's that freedom, but I don't have that mindset. I want to be as efficient as possible."[/QUOTE]
Dwyane Wade, on valuing NBA titles over scoring titles.
:applause:
Re: Wade takes shot at Chuckbe, Brickbrook?
Kobe shot 41% this year? Repped. OP is a smart guy.
Re: Wade takes shot at Chuckbe, Brickbrook?
Kobe is a career .454 shooter from the field, and Westbrook is miles ahead of Wade as a player right now. He's right though, all NBA players should pull up for a jump shot with 3 seconds left on the shotclock and then after being challenged kick it out to Battier/Chalmers/Allen/etc for a contested 3 30 feet away from the basket, just so they don't have to mess up their "FG %". :lol Even though that kills the flow of their offense, it's all about dat field goal percentage baby.
Nobody in the league, and i mean nobody does that more than Wade.
Oh and the "Chuckbe" Kobe has been far more efficient than Wade in their heads up battles throughout their careers.

Re: Wade takes shot at Chuckbe, Brickbrook?
Kobe and wade are actually pretty close in shooting efficiency this season.
Wade's eFG% is .527 and Kobe's is .504. Wade is more efficient, but its not like Kobe is drastically less efficient.

Re: Wade takes shot at Chuckbe, Brickbrook?
I might be wrong - but if you take into account free throws and 3 pointers - and Bryant is as efficient as Wade.
The emphasis placed on efficiency is...sad. The skewed statistics sometimes used to measure it are worse.i

That's why you should use eFG%. It's mathematically flawless. It accounts for the difference between 2 point and 3 point efficiency unlike FG% but it doesn't skew it with FT% like TS%.

Did you seriously just post that?
I guess Chalmers, Allen and Battier are great contested 3 point shooters, since they all shoot at a 40%+ clip from 3 point land. That really does seem to be killing the flow of their offense... :facepalm

Mathematically. In reality, it doesn't tell us much. For example, if Wade was a better outside shooter, he would most likely take 2-3 more shots per game (end of shotclock, end of quarter, etc.). That would lower his eFG%, despite the fact that he would be a better shooter.
If you are willing to take shots that have little chance of going in but the team needs someone taking them, your stats will suffer. There is a reason Tyson Chandler is the most efficient scorer in the league.
