Worst 3pt FG% (on over 50 attempts this season)

Rubio 5th worst, A Miller 6th, DeRozan 7th, Rondo 8th, Wade 10th, etc.

Only about the ten worst have an eFG% on these 3 pt shots worse than the average mid-range shot.



P.S. Rubio with 4th worst eFG% on all shots over the last 10 seasons for guys with 400+ FGAs.

Only the tiniest bit of improvement season to date over his even worse shooting last season. Feb. / March were a lot better than earlier months of this season, but still below average. Still time to move up or down. First game of April was quite cold.

monta ellis, 2nd worst 3pt FG% on 200+ 3pt FGAs in a single season in league history - 63/239 for just 26.4%. that's ranking 1,579th out of the 1,580 times a player attempted 200+ 3pters in a season...

bob, your info is dated; you've got Monta's shooting thru Mar. 20. In 6 subsequent games, he's hit 12 of 32 (.375), to bring his 3fg% to .277

Suddenly there are 12 player-seasons (2 in the ABA) with lower 3fg% on 200+ attempts. List includes Jason Kidd, Mookie Blaylock, Baron Davis, Devin Harris, and Antoine Walker 3 times.


At .387 eFG%, Rubio is .084 below the Wolves' .471 (3rd worst in the league).
In 2004, Derek Fisher shot .398 for the Lakers, who hit .481 as a team. So they may be about equivalent.
Except that Rubio shoots a lot more FT, and makes them. At .484 TS%, he's well better than the others in that low eFG% list:

The Wolves have a TS% of .515, and Rubio is .031 below that. His shooting is responsible for bringing the team TS% down about .003
He's just 4th on the team in this dubious stat: Dante Cunningham, Kevin Love, and Alexey Shved are bringing the team TS% down even more, with just their shooting.

Here are leaders in raising/lowering team TS% just by the individuals' shooting. There's no accounting for any effect on teammates' shooting -- by passing, spreading the floor, setting picks -- nor for offensive rebounds.

These figures represent the difference between team TS% with and without the player's scoring and shots.
Note Rubio teammates Kirilenko and Pekovic, who bring up their team's TS%. AK shoots .593 and is 74% assisted on his points. Nik shoots .569 and is 65% assisted.
Rubio ranks #55 from the bottom -- ahead of DWade, Duncan, Aldridge, Al Jefferson, Iguodala, Monta, Vasquez, Lin.

Norris Cole only takes about 5% of Miami's shots, but at .473 TS%, he's about .127 below the rest of the team. Similar deal for Odom and a few others.

Thanks Mike for the leaders in raising/lowering team TS% just by the individuals' shooting. If this were translated to points, I think Durant's positive scoring contribution would be worth almost 4 pts per game and Westbrook's over -3 pts (around 80 shots * the team TS% increase or decrease * 2 pts per score= impact).
