Newsflash.... Since Fields has returned from injury December 26, here are his shooting percentages:
8ft and under: 55.2%
8-16ft: 42.1%
16-24ft: 40%
24+ft: 18.2% (11 attempts thus far)
Here are DD's on the season as he has been healthy whole season:
8ft and under: 55.1%
8-16ft: 39.0%
16-24ft: 40.6%
24+ft: 23.6% (106 attempts thus far)
Your claims on Fields effect are bogus and based on percentages I am not seeing a huge drop off from DeRozan to Fields (never mind Fields currently gets more rebounds per game in nearly half the time). Granted the sample size for Fields isn't great due to limited role and minutes so lets look at Fields last season we know was unaffected by his elbow, 2010-11:
8ft and under: 61.3%
8-16ft: 30.6%
16-24ft: 43.3%
24+ft: 39.8% (216 attempts)
