How to read this chart
Each dot
is one shot, seen from above on half a court, with the basket at the bottom. A filled dot went in, an outlined dot missed.
Where the dots pile up
is where he likes to shoot from: near the rim, mid-range (the long twos), or behind the three-point arc.
The table
splits his shots into zones: how many, what share of all his attempts, his hit rate and the league's hit rate from the same spot. Δ is the gap in points of percentage, green when he beats the league, red when he trails it (shown from 10 attempts). eFG counts a three as 1.5 makes, since it is worth more.
