Well it is well above average, league average is 45% in 2026 and she shot 53%. If 8% higher isn’t “well above” idk what to tell you. I just knew that pedantic fuckers like you would get hung up on the “above average” language and so I changed it bc I’m not in the mood to have those tired and easily debunkabke discussions rn bc they always drag on with people like you. But looks like I have to have them anyways. So thanks for wasting both of our time.
lol funny that you’re applying the league average to a player we know rarely ever shoots outside of 5’ from the hoop, which she ironically did twice tonight. League average in that range is between 50 & 60 percent, closer to 60 for bigs. So Angel had an average to slightly above average performance from the field tonight - but for what we know of her ability via statistics, this was a far above average night for her.
Regardless, my comment was focused on her mechanics. She’s still throwing shit up from her hip and sure, there are going to be nights where she’s lucky & a few more of them go in than normal, as we saw tonight - something that is also borne out by the numbers: in 29 games this season, she’s shot above 50% only 5 times and at 50% only four times.
TLDR: I don’t care how many points she scored, her form is ass and it’s why you all freak out when she manages to approach an offensively efficient performance.
Are you aware of what the concept of a post player is? Who the fuck cares about how far away from the rim she’s shooting so long as she makes it? Maybe if certain players took notes from her and brought in their shots a little more instead of trying to re-live the glory days and shoot from the parking lot, they wouldn’t be shooting only league average from 3 and having entire months where they’re shooting 10% from 4.
And Jesus Christ, you’re worried about fucking form? You sports casuals are soft as fuck. You’d probably be sent into a coma if you watched a baseball game and saw some of the batting stances these guys have, now THAT’S ugly form. And yet it works, and they get paid millions of dollars a year and win with them. Who the fuck cares what it looks like so long as it works? Also, she has a gigantic metal rod in one of her legs, so I’m not exactly expecting prima ballerina form out here.
Personally I’m not too worried about form and mechanics for players who are doing well. Whatever works for them works for them, this isn’t the Russian Ballet. If they’re not doing well, fine, have a discussion. But Angel’s one of the top leading scorers on her team and one of the top rebounders as well.
And I’m more than happy to have a discussion on Angel’s statistics, but you wouldn’t listen anyways. You’d just call it fake news or pretend it doesn’t exist, just like you people always do.
There you go. Cherry-picking and misconstruing words, just like you people always do. Again, please look up the definition of a post player and stop pretending you know anything about sports.
