Analysts and researchers
23 NBA seasons of shots, with where each was taken
Play-by-play with x/y for every field goal attempt, expected points per shot and shot zones, joined to box scores.
Shot-level research usually means stitching play-by-play from one place and shot charts from another.
The join is the work. The question is what you wanted to answer.
What to build
Shot selection and shot making
Expected points per shot from location and type separates where a team shoots from how well it finishes there.
Team profiles
Pace, offensive and defensive rating and the four factors for any team and season, from the same games as the plays.
Clutch splits
Filter plays to the last five minutes within five points and compare who shoots, and what those shots are worth.
What it will not do
- Shot locations cover the NBA since 2004; WNBA since 2006; college games only where ESPN charted them (about one in ten).
- Win probability on plays starts in 2018 for the NBA.
