The Importance Of Shot Selection: Florida’s Best And Worst Shots

Shot selection was a big discussion around Florida’s offense last year and that conversation is continuing as the Gators field a roster full of offensive talents this season. Which shots to take and which shots to ignore is an important dialogue in modern basketball, fueled by the emergence of analytics to try to get the most efficient shots possible. Intelligent shot selection is important because it gets the best out of players while also covering up weaknesses. If players are out looking for shots that are actually inefficient for them then they are going to be inefficient players that are probably contributing to losing, while great shot selection can make an end of the bench player into someone who can play an important offensive role.
