So far this season, for every shot we have taken, we have scored 1.317 points, on average. That reflects our overall 47.5% shooting from the field plus the added value of 3-pt shots and FTs. That's a tiny bit better than last season, when each shot was "worth" 1.293. That small difference translates into an extra point and a half per game, other things being equal.
For comparison purposes, here are a good year and a bad year (on a W-L basis):
2009 = 1.360
2010 = 1.203
That difference is worth about 10 points a game.
For fun, I looked at our last 10 games. Here's how much each shot earned us in those games.
Not sure how useful this info is but I was curious and thought I'd share what I found.
