As a guard, Tony Wroten looks very out of place in there.

[steamed hams]

And Aldridge beats out Derozan for the long 2 ! I'm disappointed in him.

[JVL]

What an almost completely unreadable chart...

What an almost completely unreadable chart...

Definitely needs to be pared down a bit, but I find it fascinating how many good players are in the far upper right of the chart.

One possible interpretation is that teams avoid letting their bad players shoot long twos.

[LukasBMW]

This chart tells me I want Drummond, Howard, Zbo, Lebron, Monroe, Blake, or Davis on my team.

High percentage shots win championships (+ defense or course)

[dlts20]

how come it doesnt fit the whole chart in it? I would love to see the full right side. I see alot of our Wiz players taking those long 2's all day. I hate this system

[dlts20]

ok, I clicked ont he link and now can see it. Look at Wall, Beal, Webster, Gooden, Temple, and Im sure Ariza is probably in there also. Please fire Witt at the end of this season

[JohnnyNightrain]

I'd like to see the chart of actual makes.

[DeBlazerRiddem]

Goodwin and Wroten are surrounded by centers.

[RandomRaptorfan]

Expected DD to be in the far right corner, not too far off though.
Long twos baby!

I can't find Webster or Gooden or Temple or Ariza...

Lol. When I saw the axis's I knew which corner to find Aldridge in and that he would be pretty lonely. Not watching much East coast basketball, I am surprised DeRozen and Carmelo are that close to him.

One thing that DeRozen and Anthony have going for them, not represented in this chart, is that they take many more 3's than Aldridge. So they might take a lot of long 2's, but they intersperse those with 3's to keep the defense honest.

Short distance doesn't mean high percentage necessarily...

2P%:
Zbo: .467
Monroe: .502
Davis: .522

Dirk is in the top10 in distance and is shooting .526 on his 2s.

[Winsome Gerbil]

Wall and Melo shouldn't be out that far. Does not play to their strengths.

[Ctownbulls]

This chart tells me I want Drummond, Howard, Zbo, Lebron, Monroe, Blake, or Davis on my team.

Only one of those players has a ring. Only 2 of those players have made the finals.

I love his shooting frequency chart, 22 mid range shots on the season, that's crazy.

Kinda unfair to hate on Davis and Drummond for not having championships in their 2nd year

[Forbes]

Tony Wroten is a beast for this. I know he can't shoot so I'm very happy to see he isn't settling for the jumpshots. Players that's can't shoot need to follow Tony Wrotens lead.

[dorkestra]

This is one of the reasons tony has been such a pleasant surprise this year. Makes mistakes but ton of energy and wise shot allocation
