On the flip side, guys like Jalen Suggs (45%), Deni Avdija (46%), and Jordan Poole (48%) are near the bottom. Probably means: – They’re not setting up a ton of layups or dunks – Their teammates aren't knocking down shots — especially from deep

Zach Edey is rebounding nearly 1 out of every 5 shots his team misses and is averaging 20 points per 36 minutes despite his team having issues feeding him. He has Austin Reaves pinned on this play, and neither Bane nor Smart looks his direction. This happens many times each game.
