View Full Version : One of the biggest differences with AD right now is shot selection

He's stopped taking shots from further than 10ft, especially 16ft out. His average FGA distance is the lowest of his career: 7.2ft

Darvin Ham - a Former Milwaukee coach - has told him to play more like Giannis. He's cut out the low-percentage perimeter shots and focused on dominating the paint. The biggest difference is the increase in FGA from 3-10ft:



2022-2023 Season
0-3ft = 36.7% of FGA
3-10ft = 30.2% of FGA



2012-2022 Seasons
0-3ft = 34.7% of FGA
3-10ft = 19.9% of FGA


By prioritizing attacking the paint, AD's free throw rate is back up to what it was in his best seasons. He's cut the inefficient fat: 10-16ft, 16ft-3P, and 3P. Added more 3-10ft action. I love it when he uses floaters and jump hooks through traffic. Playing like a boss. http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.png

lakers are under a different boss + Ham

They all are playing a role.

Vogel will look REALLY bad if Ham can get this team a solid seed.
