We’ll skip a discussion of the limitations of official shooting statistics, and their inevitable discounting of player attributes because they’re measured against inflexible standards. That doesn’t mean standards aren’t valid, just that important information is lost unless you pay close attention to the details.
Last season, for instance, the official ACC leader in shooting accuracy was Virginia’s Jay Huff, who hit an impressive .585 from the floor (127-217). His 127 field goals on 217 attempts reached the official qualifying standard of five shots made per game (in 25 outings), and set him atop the league in FG shooting.
