I was blown away when Owen explained his project to me. Glad I could help pull the curtain back just a bit in support of his project on the NBA Top 10.

Good stuff. Of course it doesn’t. These are NBA players, who know exceedingly accurately how much time and space they need to got their shot off. For them most part I’d be willing to wager they never even noticed the Kornet Kontest happening.

Luke Kornet would contest three-point shots without getting near a shooter, just trying to obscure the rim, callijg the move an eclipse. @owenlhjphillips spent a good amount of time studying it and found useful results.

Does the Kornet Kontest Work?
Luke Kornet's Eclipse is a fan favorite, but is it effective?

this is from something back in 2021, but the summer league stats that are most correlated with a rookies performance in the NBA tend to be related to play style (threes, o. rebounds, blocks) rather than production/efficiency
