Field Goal percentage

It’s hard to pin down whether or not Tyson Chandler will receive more or fewer minutes than the 27+ he had last season per game because of the still questionable return of Alex Len.

That being said, Tyson fell .009% away from breaking his career-high in field goal percentage set prior in 2011-12. Quite literally, had Chandler made just two  otherwise missed buckets last season, he would have set a personal best.

The Suns’ offense will probably be generally the same as last season and Chandler will not be expected to take a single shot outside of about three feet from the hoop. If so, and he remains healthy, It’s a pretty safe bet that he can make another run at that record.
