What's new

Bulls have been killing it since aquiring The Jimmer

Jimmer is a bigger ball hog than I thought. There is usually a guy standing wide open somewhere on every play.

Ya huge ball hog.... i mean he takes like 2 shots per game!


He averages about 6 shots per 36 minutes for his nba career
 
I think 9/10ths of the video is from his rookie year when he played a little more.

I was way wrong anyways..... i was looking at his made field goals per game and per 36.

For field goal attempts per 36:
2011 - 14.1
2012 - 15.2
2013 - 15.5

So ya you were right.... that is kinda ball hoggish
For comparison hayward is shooting more per 36 minutes this year than any other year and is only at 13.6
Alec burks.... 13.9

It's probably a side effect of trying to fight for minutes. It's like "ok, I've gotta put up big numbers or i won't get another chance for the next month"

Ya that and honestly jimmer is a scorer/chucker.
I think that is what he should be doing cause its what he is good at and its probably what he has been coached to do.

Setting up teammated is not his top skill.... shooting the rock is
 
Well the Jimmer saw some action tonight and the Bulls totally blew out the Rockets.

maybe there's something to this!
