Following potential 2013 draftees

I scouted four games (vs Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Duke, NC St.) of Shane Larkin to get a better idea of how he scores the ball. The stats show he has a very well rounded scoring game. Here is where his offense comes from:

Spot up 3-pointers: ~29% of total points scored

Free throws: ~17% of total points scored

Low post up moves: ~13% of total points scored

Fast break opportunities: ~13% of total points scored

High post moves: ~11% of total points scored

Mid range spot up jumpers: ~6% of total points scored

Drives: ~4% of total points scored

Offensive put-back's: ~4%

Alley-oop dunks: ~2% of total points scored


Larkin seems to be a really underrated 3-point shooter. It's where he gets the majority of his points from, and in these games he shot 64% (9/14) on spot up 3's. On the season he's shooting 42% on 3.5 attempts per game from 3.

Another area that really stood out was his ability to score out of the high post. 11% of his offense came here, but the more impressive thing was that he shot 71% from the high post (post moves outside of 10 feet is how I measured it). It's a small sample size, but I do believe he has an elite post game for a perimeter player his age.

He aslo scores out of the low post, and gets to the FT line at a great rate like any good scorer should.

The main thing missing from his scoring arsenal is his ability to take his man off the dribble. But, he's better at it than the 4% would suggest, cause sometimes he would drive, then be met by another defender and end up shooting a jump hook out of the low/high post, so I counted the points in those categories.

He scores all over the court, both within the flow of the offense (coming of screens for spot up jumpers etc.) and by creating his own shot. If he ever improves his handle the way he improved his 3-pointer (that was one of the nocks on his game coming out out of high school), then watch out.

I love how you have used these stats for like 4 players now and people think your actually scouting them. haha

Does anyone one else see this?
 
I was just talking to a buddy of mine today about how overrated MCW is. Goddamn it I'm going to look foolish tomorrow.

Boy that extra length really helped him today. He's driving and finishing with those high layups/hook. He completely shut down his opposing PG with that length
 
This is the best MCW has looked. He's even able to drive on Oladipo, which shows he has better athleticism than most people probably thought.

Zeller isn't exactly ripping **** up right now.
 
I'm really rooting for Syracuse and MCW to do go all the way and for Michigan to fail hard tomorrow so we can get Burke.

If MCW had a good tournament, and kept playing like this, I wouldn't be surprised if KOC/Lindsey decided to go with MCW.

It's well documented that KOC loves "players who are long for their position". Burke for all of his attributes, goes against that philosophy.
 
This game has kind of changed my opinion on MCW. I don't know that he's a great fit for the Jazz, but I can see why someone would want him at 8-12
