Caveats & confounds

Method. On/off split from the real NBA zone shot-mix cache: for each player, compare the opponent's share of field-goal attempts taken at the rim while the player is on court vs off court, floored at 500 on-court minutes, ranked ascending by the on-minus-off delta.

Novelty & prior art

rim frequency deterrence delta = rim_share_allowed_on - rim_share_allowed_off; negative means the opponent attacks the rim less often with the player on the floor.
