Ranking The VTB United League’s Best Jump Shot (Via Synergy Sports)

The most efficient jump shots in the League:

The graph above shows the number of jump shots taken by every player in the VTB United League, as well as the total points scored on jump shots. 

Jump shots make up 55% of all shot attempts this season, while the average value of one jump shot is 1.02 points. It’s easy to see that jump shots play a huge role on offense for every team.

36 players have attempted more than 50 jump shots this season, while 104 players have attempted between 10-50 jump shots. A total of 197 players have taken at least one jump shot and 104 average at least one point per attempt. 

Jump shot leaders

Three players stick out from the crowd: John Roberson (Enisey), Branko Mirkovic (Enisey) and Jamar Smith (UNICS). You could also add CSKA’s Nando De Colo to this group, but the French guard has missed several games due to injury. 

Here is the full list of players, ranked by number of points scored on jump shots:
