Right now, he's shooting .473%, the lowest in his career. Will Al Jefferson average .500% or higher FG% this year? I'm betting that he plays and shoots better during the second half of the season. You?
 
I say he ends with an average of .4999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
 
I went with yes.

Good poll.

Jefferson, you, yourself talked about bringing the nasty. You have yet to get nastified. Please do so.

I don't mean to be pedantic, but do you know what .500% means? It means .5/100. Similarly, .473% means .473/100.

What you mean are 47.3% (or .473) and 50.0% (or .500).

I've had many students lose points because of things like that. (By, for example, writing .473% at the start of the problem, then dividing by 100 to remove the percent sign later on.)
 
So assuming it was a typo by Archie and he actually meant .500 or 50%, I say yes. I am predicting (and hoping) Big Al will play much much better after the all-star game in which he is getting no consideration at all.
 
No. We've played what, about 35 games so far, so he'd need to shoot somewhere in the neighborhood of 52% the rest of the way to get it above .500. No way. I don't see it. It's not about him learning our system. It's about him taking good shots. And he doesn't do that enough.

Yeah, I know what it means, but thanks for pointing it out. I meant 50%, but just wrote the % after getting his shooting percentage from NBA.com.
 
I'm feeling fairly confident that Big Al can pull that off, but if he misses his next 45,500 consecutive shots that would put him right at .500% and I'd probably start sweating pretty bad.
 
I love when people tell him to abandon the shot that has made his NBA career. Smart fans.
 
Ive never been one to care about the form of a shot. I mean, there are myriad posters here on this board who constantly complain about his shot and how "ugly" it is. I couldn't care less.
