Mini Pod - Reggie Miller's scoring
Added 2021-10-14 16:15:02 +0000 UTCOne thought hit me after recording: Do we psychological give guys more credit for higher volume and lower efficiency because they take so many more difficult attempts?
eg 25/75 on on 65% TS vs. 30/58%
The second player takes 25.9 scoring attempts, the first player only 19.3. I imagine a lot of those differences are a willingness to take difficult shots, and make them anywhere between, say, 35-45% of the time (versus simply rarely ever taking them). Obviously those shots can have value (i.e. broken possessions), but I'm thinking of the psychological boost of *seeing* them being attempted so frequently. A highlight-film kind of bias, if you will...
Thoughts?
