After two games, Gilas Pilipinas remains at the bottom of the team standings in Group B with two losses. Andray Blatche is leading the team in points and rebounds per game. He is averaging 24.5 points and 13.0 rebounds per game in 37 minutes of play per game.
At first glance, Blatche's statistics seem impressive. But considering that he plays 37 minutes per game, his points and rebounds per game become average. In fact, despite his stats, Blatch merely has an efficiency rating of 20 per game. The benchmark for player efficiency is 15.0.
But what is disappointing is Andray Blatche's field goal percentage so far. After two games, he has only managed to convert 16 attempts out of a total of 42 for an average of 38.1%. This particular stat clearly shows that Blatche wastes a lot of attempts.
Without a doubt, if Gilas Pilipinas is to advance to the next round, it is imperative for its players to shoot accurately. Andray Blatche and the rest of the team must improve their shooting percentage. Against taller opponents, impeccable shooting will be the main weapon of the team. Hopefully, with three games remaining for the team, Andray Blatche and the rest of the team start to shoot the daylights out of the coliseum. Only then can Filipino fans expect a win from the team.
