question on aba basketball
Looking around at the shooting figures, why on earth are the so low? Some players shooting percentages are even in the 20-30% range, why on earth are the still putting up shot after shot?
Is it that coaches are just happy to settle for that percentage?
IMO teams just simply don't practice shooting often enough and work on it, and honestly, they don't even practice basic skills often enough. You see players who don't know how to finish in the paint, no post moves, poor ball-handling. Do coaches just stop working on skills at training's when it gets to senior level and just do scrimmages, because that's what it looks like.
Shooting percentages should really be as follows:
FG%= 45%
3P%= 35%
FT%= 80%
And post players should should be 50%+, there is no excuse for shooting percentages to be so low and for the lack of skills.
