I have heard people belittle big men with high shooting percentages because "most of their shots were close to the basket." That is completely bogus in my book. Just watch basketball players and see how many point-blank shots they miss. Even college players. Even high-level college players. Even NBA players. A player who can finish a shot close to the basket, even in traffic, is worth his weight in gold. And considering what he is likely to do to the other team in terms of foul count, his worth is doubled.
