Can A Poor Shooting PG Run An Effective Pick And Roll?
In my last post where I talked about the Thunder’s ineffective pick and roll, commenter Rex asked an interesting question. He asked:
A related question: are there any teams who are good on the PNR but whose PG isn’t a good shooter?
This was an interesting question that I decided to examine further. So I used the great statistical site, Hoopdata.com to gather a team’s starting PG shooting percentage from 10-23 feet:
I chose that range because I think that is where a PG gets most of his shots when he comes off the screen while handling the basketball.
