NBA Shot Chart

An NBA shot chart visually displays where players take their shots on the court, using dots or marks to represent each attempt. It helps analyze shooting patterns, strengths, and weaknesses by showing hot spots—areas where players are more successful—and areas of difficulty. Coaches, players, and analysts use shot charts to develop strategies, improve shooting efficiency, and understand team dynamics. Essentially, it’s a map that provides insights into a player's or team’s scoring tendencies based on spatial shooting data during a game or season.
