It’s no stretch to see that Ross has the athletic and instinctual profile to be a great defender, and as you would expect, there have been flashes.
So I don’t know what cherry-picked clips prove that even his doubters wouldn’t already admit. I’m sure it wouldn’t be very hard to put together...
Conceded another soft goal, but otherwise a decent performance. My biggest concern is that yesterday will make people think that Roldan should start . . .
I think this is the key piece of information. OReb% increases for shots close to the basket. This just defines what "close to the basket means".
Which makes sense -- 10 feet is where you would expect most shots to be challenged by a help defender.
The two concepts aren't mutually exclusive. The best looks from deep usually come after the ball has gone into the paint, either by way of dribble penetration or an entry pass. You can play inside out and still craft your offense around getting open looks from 3.
Long rebounds tend to ignite fast breaks the other way. Offenses tend to rebound misses from close in more often due to defenders helping and getting out of rebounding position.
