Shot Chart

Python module to plot NBA shot chart data and distributions for players and teams and some utilities.

This file will become your README and also the index of your documentation.

Install

pip install shot_chart

shots_2019 = make_df(untar_data(URLs.SHOTS_2019))

Plotting team shot distribution

houston = TeamShots(shots_2019,"Houston")

houston.plot_shots()

houston.plot_shots(date_range=((2020,1,3), (2020,1,11)))

Please check the extra options when using the plotting functions

portland_20191125 = TeamShots(shots_2019,"Portland")

portland_20191125.list_game_ids(2019,11,25)

.dataframe tbody tr th:only-of-type { vertical-align: middle; } .dataframe tbody tr th { vertical-align: top; } .dataframe thead th { text-align: right; }

	game_id	winner	loser
45560	201911250CHI	Portland	Chicago

portland_20191125.plot_shots("201911250CHI")

Plotting player shot distribution

player_shots = PlayerShots(shots_2019,"Anthony Davis")

player_shots.plot_shots()

dlo = PlayerShots(shots_2019,"D'Angelo Russell")

dlo.plot_shots()

dlo.plot_shots(distance_limit=(16,26),attempt="2-pointer")

dlo.plot_effective(most_or_least="most")

dlo.plot_effective(most_or_least="most",exclude=["0ft"])

dlo.plot_effective(most_or_least="most",min_shots="auto",exclude=['2ft'])

dlo.plot_effective(most_or_least="least")

dlo.plot_effective(most_or_least="least",min_shots="auto")
