Wemby on how analytics say to stay away from the non paint two: "So yeah, analytics show it’s better to take shots closer to the basket and threes, rather than mid-rangers.”
By December of last season, when Wemby became the team’s starting center, he started to score more of his points near the rim.
He noted how that’s still the goal this season because of what the data says, but getting to the rim is still a very challenging process in the NBA.
“It’s still something I want to get better at,” said Wemby of scoring near the rim. “Of course those are the easiest shots, the ones we want the most, but the thing is, it’s hard to go to the basket, especially in the NBA. It’s a big part of physical work, but also of statistics, analytics.”
