shooting opportunities

last updated: Mar 01, 2025

Neat stat I saw from Lev Akabas in use for shooting efficiency charts, opposed to usage %:

FGA + 0.5 * (FTA - And 1 chances)

The challenge is I don't know where he gets "And 1 chances", which is necessary to avoid double-counting those FGAs; probably there aren't enough that it would matter substantively, and you could just use fga + .5 * fta well enough?
