Despite playing 11 seasons

[SATAN]

Rudy Gobert is yet to make a 3 point shot. :biggums:

[Kblaze8855]

That’s fine. There is no good reason he should. I’m sure nobody is asking.

Why not?

[Real Men Wear Green]

Why not? When you try too hard while haying on another player, person or poster there is a danger that your attack backfires. If Gobert had taken 8 stupid threes a year and managed to hit one what would that have changed? Regardless of a poster on this board overeating him there's nothing wrong with Gobert understanding his own limitations.

knowing your strengths and weaknesses is a good thing I'd say. A lot of players would be better off if they understood theirs. Imagine if The Bum didn't think he could shoot the basketball like a Curry

Op has a sad life

Op has a sad life

at least he has The Bum to comfort him

lmao

He's a bit too cumbersome to do it. :ohwell:

[SATAN]

It's a shame Gobert can't make shots like this man:

Wouldn't have to bench him at the end of some of these games if he could shoot. :confusedshrug:

Give me the guy 0-17 career from 3 than the guy shooting 30% on 6 3's a game any day. Can tell you who should be riding the bench at the end of games and not having plays drawn up for him :facepalm

Offensive plays drawn up for Gobert or defensive plays? No way you ACTUALLY think offensive plays should be drawn up for an idiot who has almost never averaged more assists than turnovers, couldn't compete a 1 on 1 iso move against a player even a 1 foot shorter mismatch if his life depended on it, and is a professional basketball player who trains, practices, and gets coached by the best in the world and all cannot hit FTs consistently over a mid 60% rate after 14 years between 2 continents of play.

work on reading comprehension before you go throwing the word idiot around :lol

I was reading something today and they had clarkson as a super outlier regarding eFG. Not in a good way. I would post more about it but I didn’t even read the article. But if any of you young cats want to do the legwork supposedly he’s having an epically inefficient season.

He’s bad but not even the worst on the team in terms of efficiency. That’s THT who’s even less efficient.

[Xiao Yao You]

Among the 83 players with at least 12 FGA per game, Jordan Clarkson ranks 82nd in true shooting percentage

Among the 94 players with at least 30 MPG, he ranks 86th in Defensive Rating
Among the 134 players shooting at least 4.5 3’s per game, JC ranks 132nd at 29.5%
Among the 135 players with at least 1,100 minutes played, Clarkson ranks 120th in LeBron. Most of the players worse than him are 25 years or younger.
52.2% of his shots are after 3+ dribbles (15.1% are after 7+ dribbles!). 50.4% of his shots are against tight or very tight defense. He touches the ball for 6+ seconds 23% of the time!
Jordan Clarkson ranks in the 36.8th percentile as a pick and roll ball handler and the 25.8th percentile as a spot up shooter
On defense, Jordan Clarkson ranks in the 39.1 percentile in isolation, 32.1 percentile in the pick and roll, and 11.3 percentile against a spot up shooter

No matter how you spin it, he’s just bad this year. And his on court attitude can be even worse at times. Like the team leading 36 minutes in last night’s loss to Orlando? A game where he scored just 5 points on 10 shots. His demeanor is of someone who is clearly done. That’s just one game you say? Ok well over the last 11 games he’s playing almost 32 minutes a night, shooting the ball nearly 13 times a game, and is shooting just 36% from the field and 28% from 3, oh and he’s an average of -5.2 per game over that span. It’s pretty hard to win games or develop young talent with heavy minutes going towards that kind of production.



imagine defending this crap? :roll:

Everybody knows he's not having a good season. Nothing wrong with giving him props for having a good game though.

He's never been good. There's nothing wrong with telling it like it is
