Lakers eFG% on jumpshots

[Imadogg]

Just looked up the eFG% (effective fg%, which adjusts for 3pters being worth more) for each of the Lakers (top 10 in minutes, so not counting the rookies and random old dudes) and made a lil graph, cuz I felt like it. Might as well post.



I'm sure though just by watching games, we could tell who the worst are.

[Dr Aki]

being a scientist, i must say this graph was poorly thought out.

1. this isn't a changing variable vs time and you can't use a line graph, it needs to be a bar graph
2. the y-axis needs to start from 0% and labelled (ie. eFG%)
3. the x-axis needs a label (ie. player)

i hope i'm not being an ass, this is constructive criticism

[Optms]

You had me at being a scientist...

if he followed your advice on point 2, all the points would look relatively the same.

[Desiderium]

i already knew artest and walton were the worst shooters.

[Tee212]

lol he said scientist, im a supervisor at del taco and a janitor by night. Just a visual comparison.. get over it.

[Gek]

Someone should show this to Fisher.

[Dr Aki]

i also teach students and mark their reports at university and id fail this graph instantly

and it wouldnt look relatively the same, the bars would look a lot more like each other and wouldnt look as evidently different.



whipped this up in a minute cos research is boring and im procrastinating

you cant tell me this looks as dramatic as OPs graph

[Gek]

[Dr Aki]

and pau gets a pass for shooting 42.8% eFG?

pray tell; why so arbitrary?

(also; some heads are longer than others: MISLEADING!)

[Imadogg]

My graph is better easily, you fail

[joelafan]

Our jumpshots have been spotty at best this year. That why i would like to see brown , fisher drive to the hole more and dump it off to pau and bynum then take some random 3pointer that's not in rhythm..

[Dr Aki]

My graph is better easily, you fail

if u submitted your graph in a report, you would fail the course

[dockingsched]

haha, i don't think anyone's trying to get a grade here.

personally like the 1st one better. starting at 37% makes the differences among the players more clear instead of them getting bunched up near the top. also helps that their exact percentage is inserted.

[TyCobb]

Would you fail the person if they didn't list the names in alphabetical order, or that doesn't really matter?

If it doesn't matter, than I think it should go from greatest to least, or the other way around. So we can process the graph more efficiently, Prof.

[LA Forever]

Barnes' is in a Magic uniform, not a Laker one. Please re-do the graph.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention I listed them by positions, PG to C. So you can see the bigmen next to each other and the guards next to each other.

And yea, I apologize to those who I've offended (Aki) for not labeling my graph. I coulda sworn I wasn't in school this qtr.

And Simoun, damn ESPN doesn't upgrade the pics much

[Dr Aki]

noone was offended.

constructive criticism! constructive criticism!

[Speedlot]

Get offended. All Graphs are fail. This should be from 35% to 50% only since NOBODY shoots below that. And 30 % = hot garbage Rodman to 50% Reggie Miller. The bar graph doesn't show how much a failure of a jumpshooter Luke is.
<3 YOU ALL.
