Shot-zone & shot-type defensive vulnerability rankings
Pick a shot zone — restricted area, mid-range, corner three and the rest — and the board ranks defenses by how much they allow there. The lens toggle switches between vulnerability, which is how soft the defense is, and volume, which is how much a player actually shoots from that zone. A soft zone only matters if the player in question lives in it, so both readings are on the page. Expanding a team lists the players facing it with their own zone profile.

Shot-zone vulnerability: which defenses give up production in which areas of the floor, and which players on the slate take their shots from exactly those areas. It is a matchup finder organized by where the shots come from.

Built from per-player game results aggregated by defending team and shot zone, converted to league-wide percentiles. Team-level shot-zone aggregates are deliberately not used as a source; everything is rebuilt from the player rows.
For points and shot-volume research, and for finding the players whose shot diet lines up with a specific defensive weakness rather than a general one.
