Message: [QUOTE="OttosBestFriend, post: 1301152, member: 852"] Not even close to the same. Big time basketball player miss in the neighborhood of 50% of ALL shots. Though I can't prove it, I'd bet NFL wide receivers drop less than 10% of all passes when considered "wide open." The reason hoops players miss 50% of shots is because very few shots taken are ever "wide open" and uncontested. I saw at least three of Rak's misses where he was literally assaulted in the act. If those three fall, his stat line is WAY different. They didn't fall, but those scouts in attendance to evaluate his play saw that Rak got his shot off and was fouled often - even if the fouls weren't called. And he definitely was on the overmatched team where he was a focal point of a collapsing defense with seemingly every touch - hence the five assists. He was never gonna replace Okafor as the #1 or #2 pick anyway, but he definitely didn't embarrass himself like many of you foolishly believe [/QUOTE]
