NBA JACK PERCENTAGE

I created a new stat today. Let’s call it the Jack rate or Pull rate. Which players in the NBA are most likely to Jack it up. This is very simple and is devised by how many minutes to the next field goal attempt. It attempts to account for time when fouled in the act of shooting.

There aren’t a lot of surprises. Here is the Top 10 and Bottom 10 in the NBA. .
