Non-Assisted FG%: The Stat for Shot Creators

[Overdrive]

My thinking is that a missed shot in an "assist-situation" is still an unassisted FGA by definition.

Yes by strict "mathematical" definition, but it is no stat for shotcreators then, because a miss on a spot up isn't a miss on a turn-around fade away.
One is an "assist-situation" miss the other a miss on a created shot.

Of course every miss is nonassisted, because there are no assists for misses. That's a redundant definition.

Shotsmade/attempted after receiving a pass would be a better "stat" to calculate shots created by players.

I think it still does a pretty good job of showing who is good at creating their own shot and who is not. It may not be of the utmost accurate at the current formulation, however it is something innovative and can be expanded on with 82games zone based asstd%.
