Denver is still not recovering the level that took it to the West final last season. It is difficult for him to get into the rhythm in the games and it shows. Yesterday again the Nuggets fell to the Utah Jazz 109-105. Facundo Campazzo, like his team, he alternated good and bad feelings, but a very specific statistic on three-point shots began to show a growing trend in your game.
Many times it was said that several of the contributions that Campazzo offers to a team are “intangibles”. Those that are not seen in the statistics sheet. But in the United States nothing is more compelling than the practicality of statistics. And in that respect, the good percentage of hits on 3-point shots that he has, for such a short time on the court, is what most justifies his presence.
He had only one chance last night from the three-point line and he hit it, from the corner. Something that became his specialty. He has scored 11 of 38 triples, for a very good 39.3% of hits. But if you specifically analyze the place of the court from which you shoot, he’s made 9 of 12 3-pointers from the corners, an unusual 75%.
Here also a clarification is worth. The triple line in the front sector is located at 7.24 meters, while on the sides, it is half a meter closer (6.70).
The Cordovan takes shots that he would never have tried in the national team or in Real Madrid. A look may be doing it to show itself, but in reality that is also part of adaptation. In American basketball when a player has the shot open, he must take it and punish the error of the defense. Campazzo knows it.
The Argentine’s record was also completed with a double in three attempts (5 points in total) and three assists in just 11 minutes. Nothing bad.
Mike Malone offers Campazzo opportunities. As many as games allow it. In an interview with Basquetplus, Puerto Rican coach and commentator Carlos Morales explained. “At this moment, Malone thinks about winning games, not developing Campazzo”He said in an attempt to appease the anxiety that from the Argentine perspective there is for the participation of the base.
As for the defensive aspect, a plane in which he usually stands out, this time he did not have his best night. In addition to suffering from penetrations by Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson, he committed five infractions. Too many for so little time. An item that continues to give you problems and will have to correct.
The cool Serbian pivot Nikola Jokic was the big star of the night, with 35 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assistsWhile Jordan Clarkson, from the substitute bench and with 23 points, was the Jazz’s top scorer.
Denver, who has a record of six wins and six losses, is still trying to find his way. Meanwhile, Campazzo He has already found his most productive place on the court. It’s the corner pattern.
