Bird playing the biggest minutes of her WNBA career- this early in the regular season. Will it bite the team at playoff time?
No other playoff seeded team is below average on both 3 pointers made and 3 pt FG%, while Storm are 3rd worst and worst respectively. Really going against grain and compounded by Jackson's lesser season so far.
Maybe it is dream list of players but I am not sure it is a dream team. Swoopes or Cash, fine. But both? I don't know. I'd have taken a stronger 3 point shooter instead of one.
Bird by far worst FG%s of career. The big minutes probably aren't helping.
I'd give a thorough look to trade opportunities and / or minutes shift- to bolster 3 pt production.
Swoopes had a modest 3 pt game in 2006. And she is close to that now. If they expected more that was unwise but it really isn't her or Cash's fault.
If Jackson / Bird shot the 3 like last season they would be close to average of 3 pointers made and 3 pt FG%.
They aren't, yet, after the Russian season and in this offense.
Patrick do you plan mid-season summaries on player ratings and player & lineup +/-?
I don't blame Bird, Swoopes, Cash or Gearlds for their three point shooting. Neither Swoopes nor Cash have ever been shooters, more scorers. Swoopes has a history of hitting clutch threes, however. Bird and Gearlds are in slumps, it happens. However, the offense is stagnant right now, and no one is hitting midrange or long shots outside of Jackson. She isn't really having a lesser season, it is simply that everyone sags in on her in the paint since no other player is scoring.
As far as mid-season updates, I will be doing updates for individual, player pairs and 5 person lineups. If you have interest in particular +/- data let me know. It is fairly easy for me to look at things like +/- for a player by position (though, like they say at 84games.com, that is more of a best guess since you can't track what position the swing players are playing exactly) or three player combos. I have thought about "clutch" value measurement as well since I now log all the play by play data in my game sheets as well. That one would take some time...maybe during the olympic break.
Look forward to your advance stat roll-ups and learning more about the team from them.
