Well, I was reading some sites and a book I just got about basketball, and it says that the desired shooting % in junior high school is 40%. I dont understand where this 40% comes from, as when I am practicing and recording every shot I shoot over 70% and I am an average shooter.

What does this 40% mean? Is it in game shooting? Ahh, I am really confused lol


Also, I heard steve nash saying he shoots 55% during practice, wtf? Does he shoot blind folded or something?

I am really confused
