Unfortuntaely, I don't have DVR so I can't watch a recording but I wonder how many of those shots he took where he got one pass and then held/dribbled the ball before shooting.JT was 7-19 last night. He was 0-5 from 3P so he was 7-14 from 2P, which isn't bad. By my count he had:
That's five shots (2-5). The other 9 shots were in the paint and consisted of:
- 2 turnaround jump shots - one was a baseline 15' that he normally makes and the other was one where he spun right (which he doesn't usually do) and made it.
- 2 one-legged fadeaways; both were about 15 feet and one was over Strus that he makes all of the time.
- 1 18' pull-up that he made
I don't think that 5 mid-range shots are settling. Only one was really contested (by Mobley, who left his guy to help Mitchell).
- 3 reverse lay-ups: one which he made; one which he missed but got the rebound and made the follow; and one he missed but Luke slammed home the follow (collectively, 2-4)
- 2 floaters - one he made and the other he got the rebound but missed a bunny (and he thought he was hacked because he followed Strus on the rebound (1-3)
- a dunk on a nice feed from Luke (1-1)
- a layup as the roll man from a DW PnR (1-1)
He's not shooting well but I don't think his shot selections was horrible.
I believe there were 3-4?
I bolded the pull-up that he made because I distinctly remember it being a good offensive play and different than the rest of his jumpers. I believe it was in the 4th quarter and he got the ball at the top of the key, pump faked, then calmly took one dribble and drilled a pull-up. It was very in control.
