Message: [QUOTE="TinyManInside, post: 4092616, member: 1251"] This is much better analysis than "the percentages are the same". You also have to factor in that the line distance has been moved back, what? 3 times over that stretch? That helps to further spread out the floor and increase the square footage that needs to be covered in the zone, which in turns weakens defensive rebounding, and allows for higher percentage shots inside the arc. It's also why we have a center frantically running into the corner every 4th possession and getting chastised in the postgame press conference for having the audacity of not being able to close out on a shooter, despite being 18 feet away from said shooter when he caught the ball. [also important to note that this center has better lateral agility than any of the other players in the starting 5. Put Jimmy in the same position and he'd cover half the distance that our center does on the exact same plays.] [/QUOTE]
