Message: [QUOTE="Pharos, post: 4576573, member: 9295"] Mark Twain said, "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics." I'm well aware of how statistics can be misleading. Good gravy; we all know that now after our "years of covid." And given Nika's role, driving to the basket when "convenient" is when she should make her move. What I mean to say is that when she does it, she does pretty well. I guess another way to look at it is to ask, "What is Nika's contribution to overall team shooting percentage?" If the team takes 60 shots (let's say) and the shooting percentage is 50% (let's say), then it doesn't matter how many shots that Nika takes, only that her contribution results in the highest team shooting percentage possible. That's the same for all the players. And... I guess the goal of "running offense" is to get the most "convenient" shots possible. [/QUOTE]
