One thing I've noticed anecdotally -- and something we touched upon in last night's SixersBeat -- is that the shot distribution since Iverson's been out seems to have been pushed further out towards the perimeter, with less going towards the rim. Having attempted 18 and 19 three point attempts the past two games, nearly three attempts per game above their season average, made me curious enough to look it up and try to get a little more detail.
After looking looking up some shot distribution data provided by HoopData, the results are somewhat interesting, even if there's not a large enough sample size to really establish a trend.
Below is a chart, which breaks down shot distribution based on different locations from the rim (at the rim, less than 10 feet, between 10 feet and 15 feet, between 16 feet and 23 feet, and three point attempts).
