Amir Johnson of the Detroit Pistons, stats by playing position from 82games.com
This is sort of interesting. It looks like Amir has played about 40% of his minutes this year at the 3-spot, where he has had a lot more success, both offensively and defensively.
When he plays the 3, he is taking less shots than his man, but is shooting 17% higher, and scoring more points. He's outrebounding his man by 7 rebounds per 100 possessions. He's also getting more assists.
Granted, these are GT minutes, but maybe we need to start thinking of ways to get him in there at the 3-spot, since Hayes and Herrmann have been shaky backups so far. It would such a different look, that it might throw teams off. We could combine that look with a zone on D.
