Why the Spurs get more Spot-Up opportunities than any other team

Nearly halfway through the 2016-2017 NBA season, the Spurs rank fourth in offensive efficiency (Hollinger Team Stats). While the Spurs don’t shoot the most threes or play at the fastest pace, they get quality looks from all over the floor and take advantage of them.

Coach Nick of Bballbreakdown posted a video yesterday on the league’s top four offenses. For the Spurs there were a four main takeaways:

  1. The Spurs lead the league in spot up opportunities and spot up efficiency
  2. The Spurs are third in the league in post ups but only 16th in post up efficiency
  3. The Spurs are 28th in isolations and 29th in isolation efficiency
  4. The Spurs are middle of the pack when it comes to shots off the pick and roll, off-screens and cuts.
