[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 991159, member: 2299"] Kelly is shooting three times the freethrows as last year and so despite hitting just 70% he is getting about 2.2 more points from the FT line per game than last year. Generating FTs has been one area he has really improved (my guess is this was part of the feedback he got from the NBA waters test) along with rebounds. However, outside of FTs here are the numbers. Last year he averaged 12.8 points off FGs while this year he is averaging 11.4 points despite number of attempts going from 12.3 to 14.5, So he is taking 2.2 more shots per game, but actually getting 1.4 less points off those shots. Should be noted that shots leading to FTs aren't counted as FGAs. So overall he's averaging about .8 more points per game but on about 4 shots worth of opportunities. Overall TS% is a good stat to factor in everything (although it has it's own issues). Last year he was our best offensive player with a TS% of .547 (Franklin had a higher TS% but it's not really comparable due to inside player vs out). However this year his TS% is at .443 which is only ahead of Gapare and Abram. To compare Reeves is at .568, Coleman is at .550, and Kyle is at .530. .443 puts him in Devion Smith territory from last year. Kelly may be our best player on the court. But right now his shooting% don't come close to justifying the volume that he is shooting. The two million dollar questions are why is his % so low, and why is the guy shooting such a low % the one who has such a high volume of shots. And likely you're answer to these questions will likely greatly affect how you view the overall current situation. [/QUOTE]
