MKG is the best player on this roster.. i think Gerald Henderson in grossly overrated on this site. But, to each their own.
Gerald Henderson shot position breakdown for 2011-2012 Season
At Rim: 68.4%
3-9 feet: 30%
10-15 feet: 44.9% (Hendo's Sweetspot)
16-23 feet: 40%
3- point: 35.1%
Ben Gordon, who I believe to be the Cats best shooter
At Rim: 50%
3-9: 39%
10-15 34.4%
16-23: 45%
3-point:42.9%
As you can see hendo is the superior finisher at the rim and from his sweet spot (although Gordon has bettered Hendo from this spot over 3 previous seasons) And Gordon is better from deep, as everyone knew and from the long 2 area. I think the main thing is Hendo is not a better shooter he is a better finisher at the rim, theres a big difference.
Well I mean that plays directly into their respective strengths.
Gordon is a shooter, he's a small guard who was never really known for his athleticism, slashing, or leaping ability. Hendo, on the other hand, is an athletic guy who thrives going to the rim and/or curling off screens from mid extended. So you're naturally going to see Hendo's percentages go up as he gets closer to the rim and Gordon's do the same going away from it.
That also says a lot about Gordon's overall efficiency.
i know this convo was specifically about shooting but this gives me a chance to talk about hendo.
shooter maybe gordon , scorer hendo. alot of good or elite scorers shoot low percentages from 3pt or mid but they have multiple ways to score. because gordon is only a shooter , thats why he'll be a rotation guy cause he doesn't offer anything else. plus we all know i think hendo is a top five shooting guard anyway so im a little bias when anything comes to hendo i mean hendo shoots off-screen jumpers thats a lost art, he has a post game, and he's a slasher add that with great d, we got an all-star this year.
remember he avg 15 points with only 13 shots a game , imagine if he jacked like kobe or westbook.
