Wide Open 3 point shot accuracy

Post by lip »

At http://www.82games.com/saccon.htm one can see eFG%. Also here's some numbers

But was looking what are the averages in just 3 point shots in these 4:

Wide Open
Open
Contested
Heavily Contested

These have been presented (sloansports)
tightly contested 3p% 21%
moderately 26%

And if the total average is around 35% for the 3 points shot the Wide Open and Open must be something like 45% and 50%? Assuming that the number of contested and heav. cont. is about the same as open plus wide open as in saccon.htm

Yeah, it depends on the frequencies; but the average open FG%s are probably around what you said.
