NBL Scoring
Just had a look at the shooting stats so the season so far and it tells an interesting story of the each team and they way they like to play.
FT% - NBL Average 76.1%.
TSV 89.7%, MEL 83.1%, PER 81.6%, SYD 79.4%
CNS 75.0%, NZL 74.2%, WOL 73.1%, ADL 64.8%
Townsville owning the stripe, Adelaide with some work to do.
3P% - NBL Average 34.2%
PER 41.6%, NZL 37.4%, ADL 33.9%, WOL 33.6%
CNS 32.7%, MEL 31.6%, TSV 30.2%, SYD 28.7%
Perth deadly outside the arc, Sydney not
FG% - NBL Average 45.7%
NZL 49.4%, ADL 47.6%, TSV 46.5%, CNS 46.3%

CNS 70.8, TSV 70.6, SYD 69.8, ADL 69.0
MEL 68.8, PER 67.8, MEL 68.8, NZL 66.0.
They like to put up a lot a shots in FNQ.
3P - 20.5 NBL
PER 25.7, WOL 22.8, MEL 22.2, CNS 22.0
NZL 19.9, TSV 19.2, SYD 16.8, ADL 16.4
Looks like we can know what Perth like to do, and what Adelaide don't.
FT - 19.4 NBL
ADL 28.0, SYD 21.0, TSV 19.4, CNS 18.4
WOL 18.0, NZL 17.7, PER 17.2, MEL 14.8
Adelaide looking to win if from the stripe.
I was expecting a more definite shooting % difference between the top 4 and bottom 4. I have always noticed that Perth have always been accurate from the arc. The stats confirm it and also confirm they toss up 5 more shots per game than the average, but 9 more per game than Adelaide. Adelaide putting up 11 more free throws per game than Perth, so is this a lack of key driving on Perth's behalf, or are Adelaide better at getting opponents into foul trouble?
