RJ at 59% is an improvement. I bet he was worse the year before.
Save the click, RJ @ #9
Something we knew already though, but I feel his finishing at the rim (giggity) was better in the 2nd half of the season
59% is improvable and not as bad as the previous season.
Surprised to see Maxey behind RJ, and on this list in general
But everyone keeps telling me that’s what he’s good at
JB is at 59% on 3.5 attempts per game which is the lowest for his career. Our spacing sucks.
Other notables not listed because the cut off was 4 FGA per game and if you lower it to 3 you get other guys like:
Harden at 57%
Brodgan at 37%
Trae at 54%
Garland at 57%
Also just a few spots behind RJ is Desmond Bane at 61% and Ja at 61.5%.
59% actually isn’t that bad with his level of volume. Would like to see him in the mid 60s though and turn some of those misses into assists or trips to the FT line
How many players qualify as high-volume drivers?
