Some Data On The Efficiency Of Our Shot Diet
Here’s a breakdown of shot location and how well we’ve been shooting from those locations:
Despite only shooting 21.2% on Corner’s, we are more efficient from there than we are anywhere within the arc that isn’t the restricted area. And we are EVEN MORE efficient on Above the Break 3’s. You can argue we should be taking more shots from the restricted area, which like, yes that’s what every team is trying to do but also:
Some other data:
Conclusion
Despite, the frustration with our shot diet, we are literally generating the most efficient shots we can given our shooting percentages from almost everywhere else on the floor. We are already outpacing our opponent in Restricted Area FGA’s and when we look at our 2point shooting from other locations, the efficiency is MORE grim than our 3 point shooting.
It’s too late in the game to change our identity, but our identity is still of a team that generates the most efficient looks for itself. If we can just hit our wide open shots, then we’ll be fine. If we can’t? Then shooting from a different location isn’t going to help either.
