Jake Benhart › Shot Maps › Players
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was one of the 20 leading scorers in 3 seasons on this site. His map for each is below, drawn from the same tables and checks as the season pages: size is how often he shot from a hexagon, color is his field-goal percentage there minus the league's from the same hexagon that season. Hover or tap a hexagon for its numbers. Each season is measured against that season's league, and NBA.com's shot-type labels changed over the years, so compare his shot types within a season, not across seasons. Compare him with another player.

Percentage points above or below the league: -15-10-5+0+5+10+15
In the pooled view a hexagon's color comes from it and the six around it, but its size is still his own attempts in that one hexagon, so a small hexagon can carry a strong color its neighbours earned. Hover or tap it to see how many shots the color rests on.
