No no no not allowed to. You gotta chuck to be a good player in the NBA. No one cares about efficiency...that's loser stat nerds. nah man I trust the eye test, cause eye think that my style of basketball is the best. It's about iso ball. Post up BUCKETs. 25 shots for 20 points. Mid range, jab step jab jab step shoot! No one cares about defense. It's not called defenseball. It's called BUCKETSball. Pick and roll defense what's that? Colin Sexton so nice...I love how he gets hot and chucks. I love when he played 3 v 5 and chucked that ball cause he had less people to pass to. What a killer instinct man. HE is a DOG. I want some DOG.
Nice sarcasm but answer my question in the above post. I believe that the definition of a promising rookie is an inconsistent scorer. Durant chucked his rookie year to the tune of like 28%, he got over it. And I'm not saying there's another Durant but all these inefficient chucking rookies are gonna get more efficient. The best of them will get even MORE efficient. THAT to me is development. To take what you show me you can do once and evolve into a player who you can get that out of on a nightly basis.
But you must be right, Franks been scoring his 5pts by shooting .500fg%. I must've missed that.
Durant's development has been totally different from Frank's. Durant was given free reign to do whatever he wanted. He started every game and took the most shots. He wasn't benched for Wally Szczerbiak after making a mistake. Frank has been pulled from games inexplicably when he's done well. He almost became the youngest player ever with a triple double, but couldn't get back in the game to get it.
I don't know about Durant but, the quick hooks on Frank are terrible.
