Unbelievable! Didn't translate into wins, but it's a big plus.
For the season: 35.9%, which is good it self, it's the equivalent of shooting 52% from the 2pt range.

I noticed his incredible 3pt shooting in December, as well...but I didnt want to say anything for fear of jinxing it. Oh well, cat's out of the bag now

Perhaps AK 2006-07 and Memo 2007-08 decided to swap?

Has Memo even blocked a shot this year?

Who cares. He hoists long shot after long shot and comes up with nothing most times...

True, but at least ak blocked a shot or two. I'd even take that from Memo nowadays.

Well all you'll get from the soft Okur defensively is the "ole!" defense or his patented "incoming!" pose as he gets jammed on time after time...

He hasn't made nine in a row, but he has hit 9 of his last 10.

Thank you Hornacek.
Glad to see AK's been able to find his jumper, makes him much more valuable to the Jazz.

I have noticed that teams are being forced to guard him on the perimeter now. That is something that we haven't seen for over a year. Hopefully he can keep it going.

Wow, that's like, almost as good as their winning percentage.
