fouls drawn or charges...im not a fan of the new +/- and blocked attempts showing up in boxscores....+/1 dont mean nothing for 1 game...and who cares about your attempt being blocked.

perhaps a variation of this - if a player is fouled in the act of shooting on a shot that would have been assisted, some sort of tracking of that pass.

This is actually incorrect. Making 3 of 6 is more efficient than 2 for 6, regardless of the equal amount of points awarded. Making 2 of 6 shots instead of 3 of 6 means that there's an extra 1 of 6 shots being missed which, statistically speaking, will result in a defensive rebound, thus an extra 1/6 posessions for your opponent.

lol

You are so wrong, you've got it backwards.

Not only is making 2 of 6 from three just as good as going 3 of 6 from two, it's actually better. The two scenarios would be equal if defensive teams always grabbed the defensive board. But in reality, teams grab offensive rebounds about 28% of the time. The team that goes 2 of 6 from three point range actually has an extra opportunity to grab the offensive board.

Heh, never thought of it that way. Good thinking.
