THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[dynamicalVoid]

I mean, his entire career has been somewhat small sample given how little he shoots, but he has taken well over 1/3 of his shots at the rim.  If he makes shots more difficult than they should be, I would think that would be reflected in his percentage at the rim?  Maybe he gets a higher percentage of uncontested shots at the rim because they are generally transition?  Maybe his biggest issue is passing away from shots at the rim?  Just curious.

And this is where stats and eye test clash.  You are right to assume that.  But others are also right in saying he looks below average.   

I think the wording that was used above is perfect....he makes easy shots most average NBA players make look easy look more difficult than they should be.  I think its a combo of scared to get shot blocked, lack of creativeness and bad feel for the game in regards to that aspect of basketball.

I think most people would prefer the guy that makes the easy shots look easy over the guy that seems to turn those shots in to circus shots.  But that clashes with your stats.
