Self created shots data for the Spurs (shots where the player has the ball for 6+ seconds)
December 17, 2024
Surprised at the low number of attempts and high % for Wembanyama. Chris Paul saving this team's ass. Whenere he or Vassell don't have the ball it gets real rough.

If I’m understanding the data right, good to see Castle having so much usage. I expect his efficiency will only go up on the back of a season like this (and like Wemby last year) where he’s given freedom to figure it out.
Really sucks how far Malaki has fallen off. Since he’s been here he’s always been one of the very very few that could efficiently, and consistently create his own shot, and he started this year off really really solid. He was hustling on offense and playing rather solid defense for like the first 2 or 3 weeks of the season then he got hurt and he just never returned to that level of play.
Now every time he comes off the bench he looks almost lost out there, and it looks like he doesn’t even try on defense anymore.
While Blake’s skills at creating or moving an offense is significantly worse, every single time he’s on the floor you can see he hustles and effects the game in other metrics.
I was super high on Castle coming into the season, but him being #2 in self-creation volume this early in the season was not something I had on my bingo card.
castle being number 2 in self creation is a bit of a surprise .
