As such, it makes sense that Orlando would excel with its spot-up shooting because when Dwight Howard is in the post, he's the focus of the 4-out/1-in offensive set. Howard can go to himself on the offensive side of the ball or he can kick it out to one of the four shooters standing around the perimeter. One of them, then, can either attempt a shot or swing it around the perimeter. Because defenses are scrambling to cover everyone, if the ball movement is good, a player is bound to be open and have a good chance at making a bucket. Here's a list of Magic players and how each of them rates in the 'Spot-Up' category: Percentage of Time Points Per Possession Rank Rating Mickael Pietrus 17% 0.98 59% Good Matt Barnes 13% 0.54 5% PoorRashard Lewis 13% 1.27 92% Excellent J.J. Redick 13% 1.12 79% Very Good Ryan Anderson 12% 0.95 54% Good Vince Carter 10% 1.16 83% Excellent Edited December 9, 2009 by Erick Blasco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
