Missed layups...

Touch isn't Dante's issue. It's that he wants to avoid contact so he often takes off a step early and going too fast.

Okay... maybe call it touch/feel... I don't think he avoids contact anymore. Going to fast is accurate. Some guys don't have the feel to slow down or make slight angle changes. Dante/Royce/Ricky are all kind of straight line drivers.

We need 1 point to win a game in the final second, would you rather attempt

A) a Rubio layup from 2 foot out
B) a Mitchell mid range pull up
C) two Gobert fts
D) a Korver 3

Probably A but this all depends on how contested these shots are.

I cant remember the last time I watched a jazz team that misses so many layups. The Mo Cheeks and Brevin Knight years come to mind to perhaps rival this year... The "Use the Chotch'n Bank Bord!!!" All NBA team surely has at least a couple of the following players on it: Crowder, Exum, Oneal, and Mitchell.

Can you stat gurus look up our shooting percentage within 5 feet of the basket to see who is our worst offender? Who has the lowest fg% (aka most missed layups) on our team?

Also, I think that missed layups can in part be blamed by spacing since we aren't shooting the 3 ball that well. Could the Korver trade be as much about making layups as it is about making threes?

Less 5ft :
Rubio : 25/52 48.1%
Exum : 34/75 45.3%
O'Neal : 28/46 60.9%
Crowder : 38/59 64.4%
Mitchell : 60/102 58.8%
Ingles : 42/63 66.7%
Allen : 6/10 60%
Neto : 5/8 62.5%
Burks : 27/42 64.3%
Korver : 3/4 75% last year : 24/33 72.7%
 
Rubio and Exum are tied at 50% within 3 feet, which is epically bad. Next worse is Mitchell at 64%, then O'Neale at 67%. Crowder is middle of the pack at 73%, just below Burks and Ingles and just above Favors.

There is also a big difference in how many shots they take at that distance, O'Neale and Exum both shoot almost half there shots within 3 feet, Crowder and Mitchell between a quarter and a fifth, Rubio only about 1/6th.

From 3-10 feet, our worst shooters are, in order of worst to better: Allen, Neto (both 0.0%), Burks, Crowder, Exum, O'Neale (all between 16 and 23%), then a big gap to Rubio and Mitchell (both 35%).
 
I can't believe that Crowder has that high of a percentage. Perhaps he just misses the most 'makeable' layups by not focusing. That one feels skewed to me because I would have put him only slightly better than Rubio. O'Neal feels the same way.

I do think that those percentages will go UP with Korver on the team. It will be interesting to revisit this thread in a few months to see if we are making a higher percentage from within 3 and 10 feet.
