I'll just say this: How you arrived at some of your numbers and percentages is all wrong. For example, you don't divide one percentage into another percentage to figure out a percentage.
Ben threw deep on 5.77% of all his attempts. Dalton threw deep on 4.28%. This means Ben threw deep 1.49% more often. Not 37%.
That is absolutely wrong. If you throw 5.77 throws per 100 . The other player throws 4.28 out of 100. 5.77/4.28 is 1.348. That means Ben threw 34.8% more deep throws than Dalton
You are simply calculating the difference in percentages. That is not how much more in percentage Ben threw compared to Dalton. You are 100% wrong.
If I win the lottery I'll spend half the money on alcohol, gambling and wild women. The other half I'll waste.
