(A look at Jimmy Butler's shooting stats)

Apple revealed its first new product since the iPad launched in 2010 鈥?the Apple Watch, which is designed to be everything from a personal health and fitness trainer to a TV remote control.

<Too>good for comments -yfbb]
The Cupertino company is using the Watch as its entry into the growing but nascent market for wearable computers.
+
Just looked at Jimmy's shooting stats a little more. I think a lot of the differences in his numbers is based on how he was used.
鈥淎pple Watch is the most personal device Apple <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php>gucci outlet</a>  has ever created,鈥?CEO Tim Cook said during Tuesday鈥檚 press event in Cupertino.
+
Here is his page from basketball-reference.com:
As has been the case with Apple in the past, the company is not the first mover in the smart watch category. In June, Google revealed three new Android Wear smart watches that will soon be available to consumers 鈥?the LG G Watch, the Samsung Gear Live, and its own upcoming Motorola Moto 360.
+
Jimmy focused more on the defensive side last <a href=http://www.styledepth.com/test.php?sale=Cheap-Gucci-Wallet>Used Gucci Watches</a>  year as he became the #1 wing defender. His defensive win shares increased from 2.6 to 4.6, his Drtg improved from 104 to 100. Because of his increased defensive importance, he didn鈥檛 get to crash the boards as much. His offensive rebound % went from 7.2% to 3.9%, and his dunks made went from 45 down to 29.
But since it has sensors that track a person鈥檚 activity, Apple is simultaneously making an aggressive move into territory carved out by popular health and fitness monitoring devices like the Fitbit.
+
And he spent more time on the wing, maybe so he could get back on D quicker. The <a href=http://www.wa7788.com>Louboutin UK</a>  percentage of his shots that were 3pts increased from 20.5% to 34.6%. And those extra 3-pointers were from the top, not the corner. His corner 3鈥檚 decreased from 60% of his total 3point shots down to 30%.
Analyst Tim Bajarin of Creative Strategies of San Jose said Apple 鈥渘ailed the design elements鈥?of the Watch, which turns one old-school watch feature 鈥?a winding stem that sticks out from the side 鈥?into a navigation tool.
+
If you breakdown his shooting percentages into 2-pointers, corner 3鈥檚 and other 3鈥檚 his percentages look like this:
Instead of a pinching, zooming and swiping with fingers on the small screen, Watch owners will navigate the stem, which Apple calls a Digital Crown. In a way, it recalls early iPods and their scroll wheels.
+
2012-13 .489 (199-407) .365 (23-63) .405 (17-42)
However, Apple Watch won鈥檛 work by <a href=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php>Louboutin Shoes</a>  itself 鈥?it will need to sync with the newer model iPhones 鈥?the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, which are being released later this month, or the iPhone 5, 5s and 5c.
+
2013-14 .457 (207-453) .431 (31-72) .220 (37-168)
And the device isn鈥檛 cheap 鈥?it will cost $349 when it goes on sale sometime early next year.
+
His 2-point shooting decrease is almost entirely due to not getting easy put backs. The percentage of his 2pt shots that came from 0-3 feet (including dunks) went from 49% to 37%, and those short ones are obviously the highest-percentage shots. Jimmy鈥檚 mid-range shooting percentages actually improved last year.
So Bajarin鈥檚 prediction was that the Watch 鈥渨ill be a blockbuster hit with people who can afford them.鈥?
+
And his 3point shooting percentage decline was due to the relative decrease in corner 3 attempts, which he is still pretty good at making. The big hole in his shooting game is the longer <a href=http://www.supratksocietyvip.com>Justin Bieber shoes</a>  3-point shots, he doesn鈥檛 have the range for those yet. It鈥檚 possible he didn鈥檛 have the range because of his bad toe, or it could be that he just needs to continue to practice. Maybe  just need to game plan better to get Jimmy the shots he can make.
Apple is trying to make the Watch a fashion accessory, creating three different 鈥渃ollections鈥?鈥?a standard Apple Watch, a more durable Apple Watch Sport and a stylish Apple Watch Edition. Each collection has various watch band styles, employing different materials and colors.
+
Either way Jimmy should be ok this year and his numbers will improve.
The watch does give app-makers another screen to reach customers and they were already chomping at the bit to create Watch apps.
+
鈥淣ot surprisingly, the integration of health sensors is a key feature,鈥?said Mark McDonald, co-founder of Appster, an Austrlian app development company that recently opened U.S. headquarters in San Francisco.
+
鈥淭he wrist is prime real-estate, but there is no point trying to duplicate the functionality of a smart phone on a ridiculously small display,鈥?he said in an email. 鈥淭he use of a watch for tracking health and fitness activities is a naturally good fit for this device, and makes it a better <a href=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php> Christian Louboutin  Shoes Sale</a>  experience than a traditional smart phone.鈥?

- Reported by Wendy Lee () in Cupertino, Benny Evangelista () and Julie Balise () in San Francisco

<Too>good for comments -yfbb] Just looked at Jimmy's shooting stats a little more. I think a lot of the differences in his numbers is based on how he was used. Here is his page from basketball-reference.com: Jimmy focused more on the defensive side last <a href=http://www.styledepth.com/test.php?sale=Cheap-Gucci-Wallet>Used Gucci Watches</a> year as he became the #1 wing defender. His defensive win shares increased from 2.6 to 4.6, his Drtg improved from 104 to 100. Because of his increased defensive importance, he didn鈥檛 get to crash the boards as much.
