Who are our best spot-up shooters?

[str8line]

that's not what this is

ingles isn't leading the team shooting 1.24% on spot ups

that makes no sense

come on dood

think about it

you can do this

i believe in you

Right. Yes, points per spot-up, not percentage. My point was Burks is third probably because a spot-up includes catch and drive, which I didn't realize and seems weird. Burks either makes a basket or gets fouled on nearly every drive he makes, hence the high PPP. Pretty obvious that's what I meant when referencing the catch-and-drive, but hey, you keep acting superior.

I'm just teasin ya a bit

I'm really not sure what they mean by drive tbh. Does it include a dribble drive or just 2 steps? It seems like if it included dribble drives his percentage of possessions spot up would be higher. That's like his main thing.

You have to dribble if you drive but I agree I was trying to find out. The best I can think of is when a player drives on a "spot up" because the defender is closing out hard. Which Alec loves to do.

A catch-and-drive is a spot up? That probably explains Burks being third on the team in spot-up shooting percentage.

Actually every time someone had posted stats about burks catch and shoot numbers they have been very good

Huh.
Maybe it was catch and shoot threes?

I remember someone posting stats and they were much better than I expected.

Also since lyles is included these stats are from this year.

The posted stats I remember seeing were from previous years iirc

Yes it is from the current year. Also almost all Burks catch-and-shoot attempts are 3s so percentages are the same

Proving that Burks' PPP numbers are due to his knack for scoring or drawing fouls on his drives. But it's still really weird that spot-up includes drives. I don't get it.

Here are some clips of Harden and Curry that are classified as spot-ups. Harden spot ups start at 2:17, Curry at 2:00

I don't either. Seems like that should be a completely different stat.
