Increasing the Offensive Efficiency at the Basket
Through two games, the Hornets have done an excellent job of attacking the basket on offense – they just haven’t been nearly as successful finishing when they get there though. The team is currently averaging 36.5 field-goal attempts per game from within five feet, which is fifth-most in the NBA, although their conversion rate in this area ranks just 24th (56.2%). Facing a Brooklyn squad that is humming in the scoring department right now, Charlotte simply can’t afford to not be capitalizing on relatively makeable attempts in close proximity to the rim for too much longer.
