It definitely is. Since that chart was posted Kobe's FG% has dropped to a historic low for someone who takes over 24 shot attempts per game - 37.8%. Only player shooting worse is Josh Smith, and he's never taken more than 15 a game in his career. In the meantime, AD is looking like the only valid MVP candidate at the moment.
How does a shooter say he fixes his shot? Yup! Last thing I need is nick young coming off the bench to keep the Lakers in the game while tanking. Kobe needs to shoot more, preferably from half court. I was about to say no one could have predicted having more injuries this year than last year, but it's Gary Vitti so....
Actually, Kobe is making 11.2% of his shots between 3-10 feet, and 16% from 10-16 feet, which are quite a bit worse than his 3FG%...Even if we keep the pick, would we be able to get someone the likes of say, Jahlil Okafor?
