The Neighborhood Bully 266 Report post Posted August 15, 2019 Quote Over the last three seasons, NBA players have scored 32,233 points in roughly 32,894 clutch possessions (possessions estimate is calculated as field-goal attempts plus 0.44 times free-throw attempts plus turnovers). That works out to 0.98 points per possession. Now, we need to take those same 70 players with 100-plus relevant attempts over the last three seasons and estimate the clutch points per possession each has accrued. Then we subtract the league average from the player's points per possession and multiply by total attempts to calculate how many points he generated above the league average with his shots. The top 10 reads as follows: LeBron James (41.1) Stephen Curry (37.7) Kyrie Irving (36.2) Victor Oladipo (31.5) Isaiah Thomas (27.6) Jimmy Butler (25.9) Paul George (22.5) Kevin Durant (22.5) CJ McCollum (22.0) Kemba Walker (21.9) And just for the heck of it, the bottom five: Nikola Vucevic (minus-33.8) Andrew Wiggins (minus-33.2) Jrue Holiday (minus-29.0) Carmelo Anthony (minus-24.2) Zach LaVine (minus-23.4) https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2849649-who-are-the-nbas-best-scorers-when-it-counts $100M for the worst clutch player over the last 3 years might be considered a bit of an overpay.

It is when you are Shooting 3’s as your option to win a game when you have 20% chance vs an upper 30% to go for a 2 and tie the game you play the odds. So.. yes. Harden, Lillard and Beal going for a 3 to win instead of a 2 is pathetic. Unless you are Lebron or Curry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fournier in the upper 30’s on 2 and in the lower 20’s in 3. The fact that he still shooting 3’s for the win or be the one taking 3 point shots for the tie is bad.

He's in the 50s on twos and 26% on threes The average for players on that list is 24.4% on threes. The league average is 24.8% on threes. You need to look at the shot in context.

The fact that he is the one taking the shots at the end of a game for us is depressing. We need a better go to guy. Hopefully that changes with the addition of Fultz.

But that's what I'm getting at. He's average. People act like he's garbage. He's ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
