SAN ANTONIO – Analytics have labeled non-paint 2-point shots inefficient.
LaMarcus Aldridge defies analytics.
“Those are hard shots, and they’re really good at it,” Thunder coach Billy Donovan said before OKC’s 121-112 loss at San Antonio Thursday. “But, to me with them it’s the other stuff, it’s not that. I think that there’s a lot of attention on that because it’s loud. And what I mean by loud is it speaks to how talented he (Aldridge) is offensively because there’s not many guys in the league who can make those shots, so it looks like two points is 10.
