Missed layups...

I cant remember the last time I watched a jazz team that misses so many layups. The Mo Cheeks and Brevin Knight years come to mind to perhaps rival this year... The "Use the Chotch'n Bank Bord!!!" All NBA team surely has at least a couple of the following players on it: Crowder, Exum, Oneal, and Mitchell.

Can you stat gurus look up our shooting percentage within 5 feet of the basket to see who is our worst offender? Who has the lowest fg% (aka most missed layups) on our team?

Also, I think that missed layups can in part be blamed by spacing since we aren't shooting the 3 ball that well. Could the Korver trade be as much about making layups as it is about making threes?
 
Mo Cheeks? Did you mean Matt Harpring?
 
Jae Crowder may be the worst player in the league at the rim who plays over 25mpg.

Rubio and Exum are both awful. Rubio has never been able to finish with any consistency in his career. Exum can get to the rim but he can't finish because he has little girl hands.

Otherwise they're not bad as a team - although that's mostly supported by Gobert and Favors being dunk machines.

Ingles is quietly one of the better 3's at the rim in the league.

Mitchell is very good - slightly better than last year. When he starts getting calls he'll be among the elite finishers in the league.
 
Ingles is so sneaky.

Royce and Dante don’t seem to have a lot of touch.

Ricky is Ricky... some additional space will absolutely help... it isn’t like these layups are uncontested.

We need 1 point to win a game in the final second, would you rather attempt

A) a Rubio layup from 2 foot out
B) a Mitchell mid range pull up
C) two Gobert fts
D) a Korver 3

B, D, A, C in that particular order.

Touch isn't Dante's issue. It's that he wants to avoid contact so he often takes off a step early and going too fast.

Okay... maybe call it touch/feel... I don't think he avoids contact anymore. Going to fast is accurate. Some guys don't have the feel to slow down or make slight angle changes. Dante/Royce/Ricky are all kind of straight line drivers.

Probably A but this all depends on how contested these shots are.

Less 5ft :
Rubio : 25/52 48.1%
Exum : 34/75 45.3%
O'Neal : 28/46 60.9%
Crowder : 38/59 64.4%
Mitchell : 60/102 58.8%
Ingles : 42/63 66.7%
Allen : 6/10 60%
Neto : 5/8 62.5%
Burks : 27/42 64.3%
Korver : 3/4 75% last year : 24/33 72.7%
 
Rubio and Exum are tied at 50% within 3 feet, which is epically bad. Next worse is Mitchell at 64%, then O'Neale at 67%. Crowder is middle of the pack at 73%, just below Burks and Ingles and just above Favors.

There is also a big difference in how many shots they take at that distance, O'Neale and Exum both shoot almost half there shots within 3 feet, Crowder and Mitchell between a quarter and a fifth, Rubio only about 1/6th.

From 3-10 feet, our worst shooters are, in order of worst to better: Allen, Neto (both 0.0%), Burks, Crowder, Exum, O'Neale (all between 16 and 23%), then a big gap to Rubio and Mitchell (both 35%).
