Last night Willie shot 47.4% from the field and 30% from BTA. Had he hit one more 3 he would have shot 40% BTA and 53% from the field both excellent shooting nights.
Last night the problem was defense, especially on the perimeter. When an opponent shoots 62.5% BTA and 57.9% from the field that is a strong indication that their shots were uncontested.
If you are concerned about perimeter shooting last night it would be more appropriate to look at Crocker, Davis and Pledger who shot 1-11 or 9% BTA.
Willie needed to play with more effort on the defensive end but I will take his offensive output from last night for every night the balance of the season even though he could easily improve his shot selection and be more effective.
He just needed to not press on the offensive end. Crocker also needs to finish better at the basket.
