    • I think we should expect both layups & 3Pt shots to be worth more than one point per shot, maybe 60% for layups & 40% from three to give an EV of 1.2 points for either of those shots as the goal.
    • Will Richard is the only player > 1 for both shots. You don't notice how good he is until you start looking at the numbers.
    • 47% of our shots are layups, 24% jumpers & 29% 3Pt. Need to reduce the number of 2PT jumpers, shift those to 3PT & obviously increase the 3PT% along with that.

    Thanks for bringing these stats to the board. I enjoy reading about it. We used to have a poster named GatorJason, who presented player value scoring after each game. Some folks were unnecessarily critical and Jason left. I, for one, enjoy this kind of info.

    Thanks. Data often provides some insights we don't see, hopefully it will be interesting once in awhile.
