Aren't These Twenties Lying on 34th Street?
The Knicks have two highly efficient shooters on the team: Steve Novak hits 48% of his threes, while Tyson Chandler hits 69% of his shots. The gives them adjusted field goal percentages of 67% and 69% respectively. Meanwhile, Carmelo Anthony has an AFG% of 43%. Yet Anthony shoots nearly twice as many shots per game as... Chandler? Novak? No, he shoots nearly twice as many shots per game as the two of them combined . So the Knicks offense is continually passing up a 7 in 10 shot at a bucket for a 4 in 10 shot. Am I the only one who sees something wrong here?
