Sim League Nirvana

The Timberwolves are currently shooting 48.3% from the field, which is 0.4% higher than the 2000 Bucks 47.9% season record. They shoot only 16 3s per game (22nd in the league), so I was curious to see how the teamwide true shooting compared to the league.

As shown in the below chart, the wolves also are the league leader in true shooting, and in the Grizz(TM) adjusted true shooting % accounting for turnovers. Some interesting movers though. The Kings and Jazz offensive efficiency is much better than their FG% indicates, especially when you take the Kings low turnovers into account. Meanwhile, the Suns and Raptors 47% shooting is a bit misleading.

Offensive True Shooting


I also put the analysis together for opponent's shooting to evaluate which defenses are forcing bad shots. The Raptors are big risers here - their games are full of bad shots on both sides of the ball

Opponent True Shooting

i think you need a different name for your stat than adjusted true shooting because turnovers have nothing to do with shooting percentage lol (it's an interesting way to think about it but calling it TS% feels misleading)

Is the Suns shooting misleading? They’re generating the most FTAs by a pretty decent margin, particularly from the median of the league. Even if the Suns aren’t the most efficient FT shooting team they’re shooting tons and tons of the most efficient shot in basketball
