[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 781242, member: 282"] I [I]think[/I] that this chart is comparing our shooting success for our shots vs the overall effective field goal percentage (shooting percentage, plus half extra if it's for 3) for that region of the court. Directly under the basket will be high because it's a high percentage two. (60% of 2 = 1.2 points). The top of the arc is a higher percentage 3, so 40%*3 = 1.2. 1 foot in is 41%*2 = 0.8. So "good shots" means that your general NCAA player gets good value from shooting there. Midrange is not that much of a better percentage than 3, but less points. There are better percentage shots at certain points along the arc. "Good shooters, bad shots" means that we're taking a slightly higher percentage shot one foot inside the arc than the 1% worse shot outside the arc that's worth more points. So, we might have a better percentage than most teams on midrange shots, but we'd be in a lot better shape if we were taking shots under the rim or outside the arc. [USER=538]@gt24[/USER] you and I just said the opposite thing, and the axis on that chart has us low on shot selection but high on shooting ability. I would think that would be what I said, but it'd be nice to see what measures they're actually using. I've just seen the Twitter account. If you've got something deeper, shoot me a link. [/QUOTE]
