I apologize if this has been posted before. I dont remember seeing anything like this. Pretty cool though. http://www.nba.com/hotzones/popup.html The rosters are current as of the end of the season last year though.
Well, I can't take credit for it. Saw it posted on another forum, checked it out, thought it was cool as hell.
interesting stuff. it shows luther head was money from straight-away and the corners, but not much else.
LOOOOOOOOOOL you have to see rybo's "hot zones", which consist of mid-foul line jumper (1/1 on the year), and shooting 3/5 from just outside the foul line, for the year!!! everything else is labeled "cold"... unbelievable.
do the "away" split and you'll see that, except for that 1-1, it's all cold. not above .333 anywhere except the very close spot. so we need to only have him shoot at home next year. or just not at all. or not even be on the team. in fact, go with that last one.
Ming's chart doesn't look all that great when broken down. aside from being around 60.0% at the hoop, he struggles for the most part. I expected a better outlook.
^ Yeah, whereas Juwan's looks pretty solid all around.. hmm And Alston can only shoot from the left Cool site, by the way
As a team they hit at 40% on that right corner three, and 38% on the left corner three. In fact, their only bad area is the three from the left area of the arc (which was unfortunately the third most popular area to shoot from after right at the basket and the right block). Lampe's chart is hilarious though.
Anyone took a look at Martynas Andriuskevicius of Cleveland (now of Chicago)? I thought he was pretty bad before, but look at his shot chart for 2005! He's got crazy potential! All that untapped talent! How about Pavel Podkolzin of Dallas? To think that Houston could have grabbed him if they hadn't traded away their pick (in order to dump Glen Rice). What a missed opportunity! We do need a backup center; maybe we should take a look at one of these guys... Also, I doubt you'll find a better finisher than Matt Walsh of Miami. And I thought Shaq was good around the bucket; this guy makes him look like, well, Pavel Podkolzin. I demand that Matt Walsh be picked up and signed! It's clear that management is simply too cheap to make the necessary moves to surround T-Mac and Yao with talent! Toss out Stat-Boy Morey, because if he can't see that Walsh's shooting is off the charts for a rookie, he needs his eyes checked! My Ideal lineup: PG: Walsh ('nuff said) SG: T-MAC (w00t! Mac r0x0r$) SF: Darius Miles (JVG will clean him up, where Paul Silas, Mo Cheeks and Nate McMillan failed) PF: Zach Randolph (He's a 20-10 player, and is definitely more professional than Juwan "Oakley" Howard. Z-Bo's multiple arrests have shown him the error of his ways) C: Yao Ming (who should have gotten on the first team despite there being a nearly 30 year precedent that you have to be on a winning team to get that honor.) Go Rockets!
