The Wiz Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 In a study done on assists...results showed that assisted shots produce 0.16pt more than an unassisted shot. Yuri's 11.1 assists/ gm are worth nearly 2pts /gm. Points win games....the more points you have the better chance you have to win. Assists are not window dressing....They can win games. slufanskip and Billiken Rich like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVBilliken Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Last couple of games teams have their players dropping off of Collins when he is driving deep into the key to the basket to cover players in the paint, saying score it Yuri. Last game Collins failed on difficult layouts/shots on multiple attempts. A couple of times he was able to kick the ball out to a shooter but more often he turned it over. Seems that was the difference in the 5 point Boise lost. Yuri and the team is going to have to adjust. MB73 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
