Ed Davis - What the Jazz coaching staff said that made him pick Utah...

Your mom dont matter at all

Whoa, backup. I happen to love his mother.

He averaged 2 FTA per game last year. He should get about the same amount of minutes. The difference between him shooting 61.7% (which he did last year) vs. shooting 85% is 0.466 points per game. The difference between his current percentage and 75% is 0.266 points per game.

His free throws don't matter. At all.

Until he misses two FTs and the Jazz lose by 1. Then it matters.

Each point of differential translates to 2.7 wins over the course of the season.

So 0.466 points per game = 1.3 wins

1 win can be the difference in playoff seeding.

So yeah, I kinda like to see him improve his free throw percent.

How many games do you think we’ll have where we lose by one and he’s missed two free throws? And, of those games, how many other variables will be present?

Oh, and he’s a great offensive rebounder. How many games will we win by 1 because he put back his own missed free throw?

Self awareness is an under rated trait among humans... I like Ed.

Quin Snyder would be mad about this conclusion and he would be right.
An NBA game is decided by an average of 4.6 points last time I checked, perhaps it is a bit higher now. Anyway 0. 266 is about 5~6% of that alone . It's not insignificant at all. It is a quarter. Ask the significance of half a point to punters. It's a thousand dollars sometimes.

er

i kind of would maybe like it if he learned some kind of jump shot, maybe a hook shot. otherwise nobody respect him.

but then he'd cost more, so oh well.

I think I'm self-aware, but people that have the least amount of self-awareness likely think they are self-aware AF.
