When you're in the lab, working on your "bag" this offseason, remember...
- 50% of your shots come with no dribble (catch and shoot)
- 20% of your shots come with 1 or 2 dribbles.
And don't forget, the more dribbles you take, the lower your shooting percentage gets.
No Dribbles - 1.19 Points Per Shot
1 Dribble - 1.07 Points Per Shot
2 Dribbles - 0.99 Points Per Shot
3+ Dribbles - 0.98 Points Per Shot
With a side note, lay ups are by far the most efficient shots in basketball, so use that dribble to get to the rim if you need to!
