I made some modifications to my play-by-play (PBP) tracking code to compile stats on different shot types. Basically, every shot can be classified into the following categories: dunks, layups, tips, hooks, mid-range jumpers, and 3-pt shots. According to my calculations (insert mad scientist grin here), it appears that the shots Hoopdata counts as 0-3 ft from the basket most likely include the dunks, layups, and tips that I track in the PBP code. Hook shots are most likely being included in the 3-9 ft "bin". As per a discussion that started up in one of my posts last week, it seems to make more sense to include hook shots as being inside shots rather than mid-range ones. If we agree on that, then I can neatly categorize "inside" shots (dunks+layups+tips+hooks), mid-range shots (all non-inside 2-pt jumpers), and 3-pt shots using just my PBP code, without needing to utilize Hoopdata. The final article of my new scoring metric series (see inside ratings and mid-range ratings) is taking a bit longer, because I've been incorporating these changes. Expect it some time this weekend. Also, I should note that in the future this will enable me to create some new defensive statistics (for example, which teams or units or players got dunked on the most/least, etc.)
For now, I thought I would give you a peek into what the data look like. Here are the leaders in the various inside shot rates (among players with above average number of possessions):

It's too bad Amundson has stone hands. Udoh is only slightly more efficient. And Dorell is surprisingly inefficient on layups. Hey, Mark Jackson. Hope you're planning a lot layup drills for these guys.
