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)

<style scoped> .dataframe tbody tr th:only-of-type { vertical-align: middle; }

.dataframe tbody tr th {
    vertical-align: top;
}

.dataframe thead th {
    text-align: right;
}

</style>

	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")
