Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

Ron Artest is a Layup Disaster

I hate to bash on Rawn, but he's had a constant problem this season: layups.  Take a look at this shot chart courtesy of NBA.com:

As you can see, there is an obvious problem: Tru Warier is shooting 37% on layups, which is worse than many 3 point percentages around the league.  The Phoenix Suns' combined layup percentage?  Over 60 %.  Never thought a shooting percentage would suffer from layups, did you?  My advice to Rawn: Just dunk the thing.

Keep him away from the baseline too!

I'm no commie, but the Reds shall be the best again!

The bum ankle

might be preventing him from getting any kind of lift, though.

and yet...

These are numbers Rafer would kill to have

Yes

but when we’re healthy, he’s not going to be taking more than 7-8 shots a game. Artest will be taking 12-15 shots a game, so this is bad news.
