Was looking over at (the now defunct) Basketball Metrics website, and found an interesting stat - and an answer to my questions of how well you can create a shot.
| BasketballMetrics wrote: | cFG% : Created Field Goal Percentage
This stat has the same formula as [true] FG% except that only field goals which are unassisted and which occur at least 5 seconds after an offensive rebound are counted...The Created FG% is an attempt to measure how well a player can create his own shot without the benefit of those situations. So, in calculating this stat, assisted shots and shots from offensive rebounds are ignored... |
I wonder if maybe Roland has this data that he could pull up? Or anyone else out there with play-by-play parsers?
I think it would be very interesting to look at data of cFG%, and also percentage of shots created (cFGA/FGA), and think it might even be a nice addition to the whole issue we brought up before in the "assisted%" thread.
The data would be interesting, and the next step would be the analysis. Are there players that have their cFGA/FGA fluctuate? Or does it remain fairly steady for most players/situations?
