Analytics (Shot Selection)
Nowadays, basketball is run by analytics. There is one stat that what we called " Expected Points per possession". I will list it from most efficient to least efficient
1. Cut - Obviously, this is always a free and easy shot at the rim.
2.Transition - or what we call fastbreak. Usually it is an open shot, or you have more numbers than the opponent.
3.Roll Man - The Big guy rolling in a pick and roll. Obviously, this is always a mismatch advantage as Small man will rotate to the big man.
4. Spot Up Shooter - Staying and waiting at the corners usually for a free three point shot.
5. OFF Screen - Shot coming from a screen.
6. Isolation - 1 on 1 moves ala Terrence Romeo or Kyrie Irving.
7. Handoff - Shot Coming from a handoff usually from a big or screener.
8. Post up - Yes, this is how inefficient Post up if we will based it in analytics.
It also shows that Postup and Midrange are the most inefficient shots. And Shots at the rim(Obviously) and three point shots in more efficient.
So, how do we apply these???
Do we need to abandon postup and midrange game????
Of course not. Kai and Aj strengths are in the post and midrange actually.
We need to surround them with shooters and slashers. That way, Kai's passing will be maximize
And of course play good defense. You must also notice that we must not give up Cuts and Transition, and Shots at the rim that easily. As those are the most easiest shots (Using analytics)
