Only 17 percent of Elfrid Payton’s shot attempts came without a dribble, which isn’t much of a surprise considering he is more of a playmaker and facilitator and is still improving his jump shot. He shot 49 percent, though, on two-point attempts when no dibble preceded the shot. In the play featured below, Tobias Harris gets denied on his dribble-drive attempt on Michael Carter-Williams. However, with the help of a solid Dewayne Dedmon screen, Payton is left open for the 3-pointer in the corner. WATCH: An even more surprising stat was that only 6.
