Although it took me a moment to get it, I think it’s easy to read. I like the comprehensive feel it adds to the assist rates you can find at places like 82games.com.

Not sure if it would be too much of a hassle, but including something like the players’ eFG% after their names might be interesting…

Also, I think Wes Johnson needs a graph for “passes received that should have been assists…”

they are some unselfesh players

but so far it just shows what’s pretty obvious to most Wolves fans: Rubio to Love for 2, and Rubio to Love for 3.

Your graph, however, does show how few other Wolves are dishing assists, which is probably why we’re near the bottom in that team category.

I’d like to see a Pain Distribution chart, so the Pek and Ricky lines for Bonecrushing Picks Given/Received is opposite of the assist chart.

• buckets/pts that were not assisted (with or without free throws)
• player stats over league average for position (as hard as position is to define these days)
• normalization across team, like the previous version
• the coaches face in the center (with or without spider legs)

Is that Rubio is the best at assisting others, but he gets the least help in return. A lot has/is made of his shooting percentages and whatnot, but look at Luke in comparison. Ricky clearly does the most on the team to generate his own shot, or put differently he relies the least on others to generate his own shot.

I didn’t give much thought to how the players are organized around the circle, but it’s true that the current setup leaves a lot of space devoid of useful information that could be transformed. I really like the idea of organizing by starting 5, it would give a nice look at how each team really organizes themselves.

I changed the scale by team for this one to give as much individual player information as possible. If you look at the Suns graph, where the scale is set by Steve Nash’s 10+ assists per game, it’s harder to hone in on the performance of some of the role players.

I’m sure I’ll update these graphs for later in the season and see what I can do to incorporate some of these ideas. I appreciate the feedback so much, its incredible how active and vocal the community here is. I’m always blown away by it. Thanks again!
