Below the break is a visualization of Guards' shot location broken out by my cluster analysis groups, Slashing Guards and Stretch Guards based on their percent of attempts at the rim versus from three...
I am open to suggestions on improvements, though I think it shows the mix pretty well as a start. [Update] Also see a shot location visualization with SF's.
Cool graph. Thanks for posting it.
A nice addition would be an "efficiency line" mapping y = 100% - 3pt%. That line would immediately clarify two aspects of the graph: 1) The top right hand corner is essentially empty space; 2) Deviations from the line would represent mid-range two point shots.
