I don't have access to synergy, but their numbers don't make sense statistically either. KP shoots .404 from 10-16 feet (where his post-ups tend to come from) and gets 16% of his 16.3 shots per game from there. That is 2.6 shots per game and he makes 1.05. He gets 1.7 assists per game. So, that is 2.75 scores or assists per game and doesn't come close to 70% of 5.5 post possessions per game (and that is if 100% of his 10-16 foot shots were post ups...they are not). Even if you added 100% of his 3-10 foot shots and 100% of his 10-16 foot shots, you don't get to 5.5 attempts (let alone 5.5 post attempts). Something feels off.
Maybe they are calling a postup inside 10 feet...as in when he pins a guard off the switch? Or maybe they are factoring those inside 10 feet statistics in with the ones from 10-16 feet that you are pointing to and that squares the numbers?
Is your 10-16 feet postup number eye test or trackable?
