Marvin has really improved at finishing inside. Used to be he was jumping into people and throwing up garbage or getting his shot blocked. So far he is shooting 19-28 or 68% on his attempts inside.
That's an absolutely incredible number around the basket. Especially compared to last year, when he was a pitiful 48% around the basket. Anything over 60% from that area, is excellent. So to be at close to 70%, is downright ridiculous. Those are Manu Ginoboli, Tony Parker type finishing numbers. And those two are perennially 2 of the best finishers around the rim in the league.
Smoove's 51% around the rim, while still in the red, is acutally low for a guy his size. This site gives a perfect illustration on why he should not be shooting outside 15 feet.. Just continue to take everything to the basket Josh, and you'll be OK.
