Craig Luschenat - Russell Westbrook

The reason why I chose to study both Russell’s mid-range and three-point misses is because he has essentially the same amount of attempts from both areas (1.86 vs. 1.88%).
From three-point range Russell commits five errors at a high rate, which are dropping his hands, fading/leaning, missing short, hopping into a shot, and shooting on the way down. All five of these fundamentals are well outside the elite percentile (See Fundamental Index and Extra Fundamental Index).
From mid-range, Russell commits similar errors in his shot delivery as he does from three. However, these fundamental errors are much more exaggerated from the mid-range. My two biggest concerns are when he drops his hands and shoots on the way down; both of these fundamentals are committed well outside the elite percentile. He also hops into his shot at a very high rate, but this doesn’t bother me as much as it does from three. However, hoping and shooting on the way down are the two biggest reasons why he misses short on 63% of his misses.

1.     Dropped Hands: Totalà 62% of the time he missed.

5.     Missed Short: Totalà 56% of the time he missed.
6.     Hop into Shot: Totalà 17% of the time he missed.
7.     Shooting on the Way Down: Totalà 15% of the time he missed.
