Congrats, this should be a great organization!

Is there a Mat(t)ans party?

Final takeaway: The NBA is more specialized than ever. Centers are becoming true rim specialists, taking nearly 45% of their shots at the hoop. At the same time, the league is more homogeneous in its shot avoidance, with no one taking long mid-ranges anymore.

The "3-point revolution" wasn't a single event. It happened in four distinct phases. For example, power forwards significantly increased their 3-point attempts around 2013, and centers followed suit a few years later. The data shows a staggered, positional adoption of the trend.

But it's not all about the 3-pointer. Interestingly, the 3-10 foot shot has made a comeback, especially for guards. This isn't random; it's a strategic counter-move to big men protecting the rim. Data reveals a nuanced offensive evolution beyond the arc.

2/5
Data shows the long mid-range shot (16ft-3pt line) is practically extinct. It's plummeted from 24% of all shots to just 5%. Every position, from guards to centers, has abandoned this inefficient range. The data makes the conclusion clear: efficiency reigns supreme.

Look awesome and I'm midway reading your book!
BTW there's a typo in the second element, "quality" rather than "qualify"

Holy crap where's the source code for that?!

I miss the "We're tickled pink" intro🥺

Looks good, thanks!

Talk about 3 and D

But indeed exciting altogether!

I guess this isn't the best example as it's hard to understand the color of the two least frequent groups

I haven't tried it myself yet, but I heard Typst is supposed to give you this kind of result.
