Shot Manufacturing

[MaNu4Tres]

What player outside of Kawhi on the Spurs manufactures the best shots for his teammates and for himself? Being a double threat w/ the ball?


Curious to know the takes.

[Chinook]

Gasol?

[apalisoc_9]

Surprisingly, Ginobili or Gasol...

[313]

It's not aldridge, that's for sure.

[cutewizard]

Gasol and Manu, yep

Now, if Kyle had an offense, hehehehe..............

[MaNu4Tres]

Gasol?

I think there's one player on the team that can get to spots on the court that no one else can, which forces the weakside defense to move the most -- opening holes in the D more often than anyone else.

At this stage of his career, Gasol is more of a versatile finisher -- playing off primary action first and foremost. So I wouldn't consider him that.


As for my answer, I think its the 3rd string point guard.

Patty.

[picnroll]

Patty.
:lol

[YGWHI]

C'mon!!! Don't say Parker... :D

[TheDoctor]

Danny Green tbh

Those drive and kick are a thing of beauty.

[spursistan]

Surprisingly, Ginobili or Gasol...

[DAF86]

The fact that I'm seriously considering saying Manu is pathetic, tbh.

[coachmac87]

Tony Parker...

mvpau

[$pursDynasty]

MVParker, he can get his own shot, though tbh he doesn't hit it as much as he used to, however it seems he is the only player able to spoon feed LMA. 10 x more than I have seen the microwave or Dijon. Not talking raw numbers because Tony is on the floor more but when Dijon or Patty are out there they aren't good at spoon feeding teammates

[SAGirl]

Pau or Tony... I would say Manu but his finishing shots at the rim is not what it used to be. Pau bc he's an incredibly talented shooter passer and finisher at the rim so he's dangerous... Murray I needs to improve his finishes at the rim but he can get where he wants to and can create for teammates well when he wants to.

[lefty20]

This where Spurs miss Bonner the most.

[ElNono]

I can tell you I was hoping Simms/Anderson would become some of that... just didn't happen...

[MultiTroll]

imo both Bertie and Murray are very good at this.
Free both of them.

GNob would be a ten but his Alzheimers outbursts are too frequent and come at very costly times.
Gasol mmm ya but he too often telegraphs his passes.
LMA is the consistent clog. :depressed

[Fireball]

Gasol dribbles the ball so far away from his body when he tries to attack the basket ... that leads to some bad turnovers

[100%duncan]

No one tbh.

[bklynspursfan]

TP.

[Strategic]

It's Becky on the second row.

MaNu4Tres, since you included "for his teammates," (which includes screening) here is my list from most effective to least:

1. Manu
2. TP
3. David
4. Pau
5. Patty
6. LaMarcus
7. Kyle, Dejounte
9. Jonathon
10. Danny
11. Davis
12. Dewayne
13. Joel, Bryn

No I was strictly talking about with the ball. Apologies if I didnt convey that Solid.

[TheGreatYacht]

TP, Pau, Manu, Murray. In that order

[dabom]

Hey OP. When can I get my $50?

[From Downtown]

I think Lee's actually not that bad at it

[SAGirl]

I correct my statement.
The correct answer by looking at stats is that it really is Tony.
He still gets 68.5% of his shots unassisted and has a very high A/TO ratio and a good number of assists per his usage.

After Kawhi and Tony, it really is Dijon. There is no question. Obviously he's not consistently good enough at what he's doing right this second, thus he has way too many TO, and his own shooting percentages are not great as he only has the floater, but he will get better with practice and experience and he can already create shots at this early stage (even as haphazard as it looks at times).

[Spur|n|Austin]

Agreed, came here to post this.

[BillMc]

I think Lee's actually not that bad at it

Agree. Tony, Pau, Manu, and Lee

[TD 21]

The rare stretches he's both healthy and in rhythm, it's still Parker, which is precisely why this team is not a contender.

[sasaint]

Tony, Pau, Manu, Lee, Kyle, Dijon, Bertans
