With the data about distance of all shots in the last 3 years [including playoffs] available on InfiniteDemand.com I couldn’t resist from writing a post full of tables with information about
Players who had The Highest Average Distance of Shots Attempted. For more fun I also added the opposite list: Players who were Living in the Paint [minimum 500 shots attempted].
BTW, Joel Przybilla had an amazing average distance of 1,14 feet but he had only 417 FGA.
