I have seen a few comments talking about consistency of certain players, and thought I'd try to quantify consistency to see how our players compare against each other.
Method:
* Chart Points against FGA for all games this season per player
* Find the line of best fit
* Find the r-squared value for the data (0 is no fit or inconsistent, 1 is best fit or perfectly consistent)
I have done line of best fit with no defined intercepts, and also with (0,0) intercept for comparison.
Data:
y = points
x = field goal attempts
No intercept:
