Austin finishes preseason with shooting splits of 62.5% / 67.7% / 90.9%.

The 59 games includes 27 regular season games, 16 playoff games, 5 exhibition games, 8 fiba World Cup games, and 3 preseason games.

It has gotten to the point where I’m more surprised when the ball doesn’t go in the basket. (Not surprising when the statistics back it up.

This might be the greatest run of efficiency for a 6’5 and under basketball player over a 50+ game sample of all time. And this isn’t low volume. I’m sure some 3 point specialists have had crazy streaks, but that’s not comparable. Don’t know how we can test this theory, but anyway.

I’d suggest LinkedIn for the ability to network

I can’t necessarily prove it right now but I have a good feeling this is false

Why lmao

[–] rpars18@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know Reaves has a high TS% but considering it says 50 games I was thinking of someone like Steph Curry or James Harden who’ve had relatively high TS% seasons before. Again, could be wrong and if I am I’ll accept it but it’s just a gut feeling

AR benefits a lot from being a lower volume 2nd option. There is no way Harden or Curry have had a more efficient 50 game scoring stretch. Opposing defenses would double team them if they were scoring like this.

If someone were to have done it, it’d be like a Joe Harris, Ray Allen type.

Didn’t Steph put up 50/40/90 in his MVP year?

Or I’d you want efficiency, look at Nash

It’s still dumb as hell to throw in preseason and exhibition game stats with regular season ones

[–] ImTheBestNerd@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

How many points

I actually find these kind of posters hilarious but I understand why they get banned.
