The orthogonal metrics keep rolling along. In the previous few posts I looked at how players affect the rate (per 100) of mid-range/inside/fta shot attempts while on offense or defense. In this post I'll start looking at how players affect shooting efficiency at the team level for each shot type.
To calculate adjusted mid-range efficiency, I first tabulated for each player the number of (team) points scored on mid-range shots, in addition to the number of mid-range attempts, and computed the resulting points-per-shot (PPS) which was then multiplied by 100 (the reason for multiplying by 100 was primarily so that I could work with integers in R, something I highly recommend when possible). This is the metric being adjusted.
Without further adieu, let's get to the lists. Players with >1500 possessions are shows.

I remembered that thread title when I saw they traded Udoh. But I suppose it can actually be an OK trade if Bogut can stay healthy (big IF). Further, Udoh would probably never gotten star status and would have always been a lot cheaper. Were you upset? At least they get a better pick now..
