Player analysis: How good is Amen Thompson at the defense level shooting?

In the regular season, Amen Thompson interfered with his opponent's total 729 shots, and under this circumstance, the opponent's shooting rate dropped from 46.3% to 40.7%. The -5.6% reduction rate indicates that it is difficult for the opponent to gain the upper hand in front of him.

Based on strong defense, the Rockets lost 107.9 points in a hundred rounds when Amen was on the court. For comparison, the Thunder lost 106.6 points in a hundred rounds and 109.1 points in the Magic. In other words, the Houston Rockets have the top defensive ability in the league without considering physical strength.

Based on personal defensive efficiency and importance to team defense, Amen Thompson has reached the defensive level.

So, how good is Amen Thompson at the defense level shooting?

697 shots in the regular season, including 293 shots at the basket and a shooting rate of 75.8%; 208 shots at the basket and a shooting rate of 47.1%; 67 shots at the middle distance, a shooting rate of 49.3%, 38 shots at the large two-point shots, a shooting rate of 26.3%; 91 shots at the three-point shots and a shooting rate of 27.5%.

Although he is a swaying man on the front line, Amen's shooting area is very similar to blue-collar centers like Zubac, Jaart Allen, and Kessler. The inside ends solidly but there is no threat of shooting when he leaves the penalty area.

, the basket's power is 58.4%, the basket's power is 35.0%, the middle distance is 46.2%, the big two-pointer is 88.7%, which one comes from 96.0%. In other words, the area within the free throw line has a certain amount of throwing and holding the shot and getting rid of it, but the ending of "eating cake" outside the free throw line is mainly done. In terms of the ending method, 153 offense and defense conversions were made, 1.16 points/round better than 58.3% of the players; 101 fixed-point shootings were made, 0.83 points/round better than 12.4% of the players; 140 empty cuts were made, 1.36 points/round better than 63.8% of the players; 68 tip-offs were made, 1.20 points/round better than 70.9% of the players.

Overall, we can divide Amen Thompson's shooting as follows:

1. It mainly ends in the penalty area, with almost no shooting threats except the penalty area;

2. It has certain independent offensive capabilities under the basket and near the basket, but it is mainly limited to offensive and defensive conversion, empty cuts, and tip-in defenses that are not established and time difference.

From this point of view, the offensive end is very rough. If we look at the size of our career, Randall was very similar to the four-year Lakers season, with a shooting rate of 65.5% at the basket, but only 34.4%, 27.1% and 25.7% respectively.

Fortunately, Amen is still young at the age of 22, and he still has the possibility of practicing to shoot or to shoot in the medium and long range. Take the three-pointers on the bottom corners on both sides as an example. The shooting percentages of 47.1% (test left) and 32.4% (test right) this season not only increased significantly compared with 0% and 16.7% last season, but more importantly, from this point of view, there is a possibility of making mid-range shots, especially three-pointers.

I think that when you already have strong defense, you will reach the medium-sized level of this projection, especially three-pointers. To be precise, if it is not an empty person, it has already met the expectations of the No. 4 show. If you raise the upper limit of the point, it will be top 3D.

Finally, let's wait and see if Amen Thompson will surprise us on the offensive end.
