So the defense for AO's shooting% is that she's taking a ton of desperation shots at the buzzer? I don't know how accurate that is but if it is, why is that the case?
Yes, more shots for McCowan would mean more points. Though I hope you see the difference in McCowan's Shaq-like scoring skills and Collier's ability to hit nearly every shot in the book.
It's that she:
1. is a guard, guards on average shoot for lower percentages than forwards
2. has the defense keying on her due to lack of a good supporting cast. She's the Wings go to player and their bail out player. She doesn't have a Fowles inside or Sims on the perimeter to help carry the load. End of shot clock situations go to Arike for the Wings, they don't for Collier. As a result, Arike is taking a great number of shots in more difficult situations than Collier faces. As a result Arike has great scoring with less efficiency than Collier. Whether that's an argument for Arike or Collier is subjective.
