The Grouped Bar Chart above compares Field Goal Percentage and different Shot Types for NBA players during the 2023-24 season. The plot shows the correlation between Field Goal Percentage compared to different Shot Types for individual players. This Chart displays a summary of the players with the highest Field Goal Percentages across the NBA. The players with the highest percentages have points only through 2pts and Free throws causing their numbers to be higher due to the low amount of three point shots.

The scatterplot and trend line above compare minutes per game and points per minute for NBA players during the 2023-24 season. The first plot shows the correlation between playing time and scoring efficiency for individual players. The second plot groups players into categories to show average efficiency trends across different minute ranges. The regression line and category trends help identify whether players who play more minutes maintain their scoring pace or experience efficiency changes. There are some outliers, but the general trends show the relationship between workload and scoring rate.
This page compares two Star NBA players side-by-side using live 2023–24 stats from Basketball-Reference.
The radar chart summarizes four key metrics:
- MPG – Minutes per game
- PPG – Points per game
- TS% – True Shooting % (scoring efficiency)
- PER – Player Efficiency Rating
