| Shooting all those thousands of shots in extended practice not only paid off in him winning the NBA FG% crown but also in a very nice contract for a guy that most thought would never advance beyond the "D" league. Atta Go Mikki Quote:
That is not to say the Mikki didn't benefit from Jason's passing, but I didn't see Carter or Jefferson shooting 60% last year and they both have a heck of lot more talent and ability to get open than Mikki does. They both shot around 45% from the field last year More than one NBA loser - NBA - Yahoo! Sports New Jersey Nets - Statistics - NBA - Yahoo! Sports ![]() |

| Re: Congrads To Mikki Moore On His New Contract If you watched Mikki Moore play last year, it was obvious that the free throw line jumper was a huge weapon for him. That is the sort of thing that a big man gets through hard work in the off-season. And most centers in the league would be open for that shot whenever they want it. Last year, he shot about 55% on jump shots and he took over 40% of his shots from outside the paint. This FG% on jumpers is > 10 percentage points higher than any of our big men (Sheed, Dyess, Mohammed, Maxiell) When you think of an inflated FG% due to amazing teammates, you would think that he was getting a bunch of bunnies. He got those too, but it was in conjuction with his own production. And getting bunnies takes hard work too. You have to be willing to spend time in the paint. Sheed, for instance, got 6% of his shot attemps on dunks and tip-ins vs. 26% for Mikki.

Anyway, its not a false statement to say that one of the best passing point guards in the game has a huge impact on his surrounding cast FG%. I think Kidd inflates everyone's FG% on the team. BTW, Mikki Moore has always shot a pretty decent FG%. Shooting a 60 percent FG% is inflated in my opinion. The odds of him continuing to shoot at a clip higher than Shaq has for most of his career is highly unlikely.

| Re: Congrads To Mikki Moore On His New Contract Quote:
Can I ask where you're getting your data from? I'm curious as to the volume of jumpshots during that time span. Watching him in Detroit and Seattle, I don't remember him attempting jump shots that much. And when he did shoot it, I can't remember it being inconsistent. His problem was always that he had trouble defending opposing centers because of his gearth limitations. He also didn't have a very developed post game. All that being said, it still doesn't take away from my point. Shooting at a 60% clip is an inflated stat for Mikki Moore given his attempts. Thats a percentage that Shaq has only reached a couple times in his career. Last edited by MotownPride : 08-08-2007 at 04:20 PM. |
