Will any Rocket be efficient enough to accomplish each of the following this season?

where did you get those numbers for 1, 2 and 4?

 

My suggestions would be Landry and Lowry. I think one of them could potentially crack 1, 3, and 4, although 2 will be the hard one, considering how our team has looked in execution so far.

 

how about a list of players that actually did this last year? highly doubt this will happen on our team, with so many new components.

 

Landry's a good guess on our team. Budinger might well be on the list.

Lowry's a point, and will have too many turnovers.

 

My guess would be Battier even though he will be more featured on offense.

 

that's almost a category built for shane, right?

for #1, you can 1.19 ppFGA only through high% 3pointer or high volume FTA - that basically rules out landry or any of our big.

for #2, that rules out our pgs or anyone that touches the ball often

for #3, that basically chase buddinger is out since he is the backup AND will understandably struggle in defence to have a positive +/- at this point

that leaves... ugh... battier and ariza. and I don't think ariza is a good enough 3pt shooter (or attracts enough FTA for that matter) to be a part of this.

so... we are basically asking: will shane be able to reach those 4 this season?

and no, I don't think shane reaches #1 and #2.

 

Battier and Budinger probably have the best shot at it, in that order.

 

Someone that score at least 9.7 points with less than 0.9 turnovers?
I really wonder how many in the NBA did that last season in that 2 criteria alone.
After a quick check at http://www.basketball-reference.com,
Only 6 players achieve it. Arenas, Butler, Marrow, Peja, Fisher and R.Wallace. Remove Arenas who only played 2 games. That leaves 5 players in the entire NBA, and all 5 are purely shooters that did pretty much nothing else. So I really wonder why you want to have a player like that to play for the Rox.

 

I don't understand the point of this...does satisfying those requirements make them a good player?

 

0 rockets achieve this we miss the playoffs completely.
1 rocket achieves this and we sniff the playoffs but miss
2 rockets achieve this we sneak into the playoffs
3 rockets achieve this and we are a media sensation and advance in the playoffs

 

How does Marrow, R.Butler, Peja, Fisher and R.Wallace fit that bill?

 

I guarantee you Battier gets three out of the four there. The turnovers part will be hard to accomplish, since if you didn't notice he's been handling the ball a significant portion of the time when he's in the game now, esp bringing the ball up the court.

 

Its not considered a turnover if you brick it off the backboard.

 

There similar players who do the same thing to be effective i guess.

That is not an easy task for anybody to achieve especially all 4.

I don't think anybody can achieve those 4 this season, but i think if they play to their game without being asked to do much more then Battier, Budinger and Ariza could make that list.
