How to read this page
Pick a spot — restricted area, mid-range, corner three — and the board ranks defenses by what they allow there. Frequency and FG% shows how often opponents shoot from there and how many go in; Shots and points shows attempts and points per game. A soft spot only matters if the player lives in it, so click a team to see who is facing it.
