![]() the thread i just posted:
http://ultimateknicks.com/forum/topic.asp?t=38130 illustrates the problems felton is giving our team right now. he is shooting poorly from outside, and it's affecting amar'e, especially. here's the quotes i posted from the knickerblooger article: on average each percentage point increase in Felton’s TS% increases Stoudemire’s TS% by 0.24 points. In other words, the more efficiently Felton scores, the better Amaré is. If Felton can’t prove to them that he is a dangerous shotmaker, they lay off of him and commit to keeping Stoudemire out of the paint. The statistics bear this out: Stoudemire is taking a lot more shots out of isolation plays. Last year in Phoenix, 61% of his baskets came off assists. This year, only 48% of them do. in mda's offense the pg has to be able to hit a 20-27 foot jumper consistently. we've been struggling with his bad shooting of late. billups is a far superior shooter, and could potentially thrive in this offense. he is older, but the question then becomes will felton be a better shooter? if i'm him, if he doesn't get traded, i work my ass off on my outside shooting. Forum Po Po and #33 for a reason...
