His defensive value, however, is more than offset by the fact that he is the single worst offensive player in basketball. Instead of his name and number, Anthony's jersey should have just said "AVOID." For the most part, that's what the Heat did. His 4.9 usage rate was not only the lowest in the NBA, it was the lowest in the league in nearly two decades.

hollinger can be BRUTAL in some of these profiles...he's consistently otm and hilarious

k3vin k., Monday, 5 December 2011 04:29 (twelve years ago) link

yeah, i laughed at this part of his malik allen profile:

+ May be league's least athletic player. Terrible rebounder. Can't create shots.

OOOO, Monday, 5 December 2011 05:03 (twelve years ago) link

James Jones

+ One-dimensional corner 3-point shooter. Has no idea he's allowed to dribble.

+ Poor athlete, but has good size for 3 and plays passable defense. Bad rebounder.

The ultimate Johnny One-Note, Jones did nothing but shoot 3s from the corner, except for that one time he tried a shot at the basket. No, seriously -- he took one shot at the basket all season. In 1,551 minutes.

Needless to say, Jones had the league's lowest rate of shot attempts at the rim last season (see chart). In a related note, Jones had 98.6 percent of his baskets assisted, the most of any perimeter player except Brian Cardinal.

Jones' other stats similarly highlight his offensive extremes. He had the second-lowest turnover ratio, because all he had to do was catch and shoot. He took five shots inside 15 feet all year. He led the NBA in secondary percentage, because nearly all his shots were 3s, and was second among small forwards in TS%. He was last among small forwards in usage rate, because he just stood in the corner all game.

Somehow, Jones drew a decent number of free throw attempts, as he has become very good at pump-faking the 3 and drawing contact -- most memorably on the play that led to his playoff fracas with Paul Pierce.
