The Lakers took 34 C&S jump shots last night and 27 of them were “guarded” according to Synergy.
-
64% of their C&S jumpers have been guarded so far in preseason, compared to 49% in the regular season last year.
-
Last night they got just 0.85 pps on those attempts, and are at 0.82 for the preseason in total.
The system might be better on paper, but it has consistently created much worse results in practice than Darvin Ham’s offensive scheme.
The numbers will start to equalize when the third stringers, fourth stringers, and Bronny don’t see the court outside of garbage time.
