I agree, the true shooting percentage drop isn’t substantial. I didn’t include that to show Hamilton was shooting worse. I included it show he wasn’t shooting better.

Additionally, the effect that coming off the bench has on Rip's attempts and shooting percentage is negligible. A 1 shot increase per 36 minutes and a 1% drop in true shooting percentage are not large enough differences on which to draw any substantial conclusions. Sample size seems too small.
