His point-per-shot average tends to decrease, and as a consequence of the first two things.His shot quality increases (in part because most rookies are asked to “do less” than they did in college but also because the league average shooter is better in the NBA than in college, so expectations are higher for the same shot mix).When a player enters the NBA, three things tend to happen: SSM is a measure of shooting skill that accounts for the difficulty of a player’s shot mix. The complementary metric Synergy Shot Making (SSM) tells us how much an individual shooter exceeded expectations relative to a league-average shooter facing the same situation. SSQ is a generic measure of shot quality, a baseline against which to compare shooting performance. The first, Synergy Shot Quality (SSQ), uses the contextual information we collect about every play to determine the probability a league-average shooter makes a shot in the same situation (you can read the SSQ explainer for more info on how it works). This week, Synergy Sports is introducing a few new metrics to help coaches and scouts develop winning team strategies.
