Restricted area FG% by PGs in 17/18 

Post#1 » by Jstock12 » Sun Oct 14, 2018 7:25 pm

I was doing some research for fun and checked out how efficiently NBA point-guards were finishing in the restricted area / at rim in the 2017/18 regular season, and Collison seems to be elite at it:

Eric Bledsoe - 67.4%
Steph Curry - 64.9%
Derrick Rose - 64.6%
Jrue Holiday - 64.4%
Elfrid Payton - 63.7%
Ish Smith - 63.6%
Darren Collison - 63.4%
Jeff Teague - 63.4%
Chris Paul - 63.2%
Donovan Mitchell - 61.7%
Kyrie Irving - 61.6%
John Wall - 61.5%
Kyle Lowry - 61.4%
De'Aaron Fox - 59.9%
Russell Westbrook - 59.2%
Goran Dragic - 59.0%
Jamal Murray - 58.6%
Rajon Rondo 58.4%
D'Angelo Russell - 58.0%
D.J. Augustin - 56.9%
Dennis Smith Jr - 56.7%
Dejounte Murray 55.3%
Dennis Schroder - 54.5%
Kemba Walker - 54.1%
Damian Lillard - 53.8%
Kris Dunn - 52.6%
Ricky Rubio - 50.9%
Lonzo Ball - 47.9%

I'd like to see Collison get some more usage. Some of his high percentages are due to him only taking good shots if he has them, but he is in really good company here, with his 3pt %, and assist to turnover ratio. I think he could be a bigger part of the offense than we saw last year.

It’s also on an average of 2.2 attempts inside the restricted area per game. While a positive, it’s not as big a deal as one might think for Collison.

I was mostly comparing starting point guards, I'm sure there must be some backup point guards worse than him :lol:
