Use data to interpret Finney Smith s field attributes

What level of player is electric fan? Regarding Finney Smith, my deepest impression of him was that he used 6 three-pointers to kill Wahuo last season. He knew he was a 3D type player, but he didn't feel that he was a top player. If you don’t check the results, you won’t know. If you check, you will be shocked. The performance of electric fans last season was completely the Lakers' invisible thighs. Next, we will follow Lao Chen's perspective and use data to interpret Finney Smith's season performance and the help he can provide to the Rockets.

·Let's talk about the offensive end first, averaged 8.7 points per game in the regular season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.1%, and the real shooting percentage can reach 60.4%. The playoffs declined slightly, but the three-pointers can still use 36.8% shooting percentage, and averaged 1.4 per game, which is enough for role players.

His scoring distribution tends to be magic ball-like, which means that three-pointers are a bit like the Rockets' old acquaintance Ariza. His finishing efficiency can reach 62.1% within 5 feet of the basket, but his breakthroughs are only 1.2 times, which is basically an empty cut and a second offense. His independent breakthrough ability is limited, and his assist rate is only 7.3%, which is the type of ending with the ball and has no offensive development ability. Overall, it is a role player who is not very high in production but has relatively good efficiency.

·Let's talk about the defensive end, the positive and negative values ​​of the electric fan can reach +2.1, which is the forefront of the league, with a terrifying steal rate of 2.3%. To give the brothers an intuitive comparison, Amen's steal rate was 2.1% last season, which shows that he has a strong sense of oppression on the ball holder, but the electric fan only has a 0.9% capping rate.

The air defense capabilities are average, with a defensive running distance per game and averaging 3.8 times per game. This shows that he has a strong awareness of assisting defense and coverage. For All-Star players, electric fans can also rank in the top 10 in the league, and his performance at critical moments is even more eye-catching. In the decisive stage, his defensive positive and negative value rose to +3.5, his steal rate increased to 2.8%, and his rebound protection success rate also increased by 12%. He is definitely a reliable forward lock. Based on his offensive and defense, electric fans are more defensive among 3D players and lack independent offensive capabilities.

For the Rockets, Finney Smith's height of 2 meters and a weight of 99 kg is similar to Dillon (Dillon 198101kg), which can increase the diversity of the defensive end and also provide insurance for the health of the forward line. It’s enough to play a space point at the offensive end, but it shouldn’t be able to withstand too much output. You can expect him and Ethan to form a new version of the Horror Brothers on the bench.
