The Most Ineffecient Scorers of 2012-2013 (So Far)

League Averages to date:

  • 44.9 Field Goal %
  • 49.2 eFG% (Effective Field Goal Percentage, this statistic adjusts for the fact that a 3-point field goal is worth one more point than a 2-point field goal.)
  • 1 Free Throw per 4.90 Field Goals Attempted
  • .204 Free Throws/Field Goal Attempts
  • 15 Player Efficiency Rating



This is a list of everyone attempting 10 or more shots a game while only averaging only 1 more point per game than shots attempted per game.
  • >= 10 FGA/G
  • PPG - FGA/G = <=1

I added Monta Ellis to the list because he was really close to the target numbers and the sheer volume of shots he puts up at an average effeciency deserves mention.  He's 4th in the league in shots attempted per game.

All stats taken from the amazing BasketballReference.
