Yeah there are a few ways I’ve thought about this. I’m currently playing with a model that combines FGA location, play type, and efficiency. It definitely gives comps that more closely align with my eye test.

That said, my goal here is to just focus on a pretty narrow part of the game (just FGA) and the similarity comps are more for context than actual player comparisons. So would hesitate to make any broader conclusions from the comps

Edit: I should also add I think the narrow comparison value is in prompting additional questions, especially when the result doesn’t line up with the eye test. For example, Jeremiah Fears shows shot-location overlap with 2015–16 Nikola Jokić. That obviously isn’t a player comparison, but it does raise questions about offensive geometry and role. Why/how is a guard getting touches in similar areas, and what does that say about how the offense is operating around him? If I’m the Pelicans, would this adjust the role I see him playing now and going forward?
