Many say that is an open shot. However we cannot know what exactly is going on behind the text in the GE so we can't know for sure.


I remember seeing that people who have developed tools with the API have said that essentially either there is a defender listed (a contested shot) or a passer listed (for an uncontested shot). Not all of the uncontested shots will show the passer in the viewer though, but the XML data will show who passed it.

i think from memory that the BB-Game analyzer doesn't treat's these as open shots.

There is in-game text that says ' gets open in the corner' which is obviously open

But then there is game text such as:
"has plenty of time to set-up, and shoots from near the foul line"

Is that an open shot?

What about this one?
"C. Querido (A) finds A. Khare (A) in space. A. Khare (A) attempts a jump-shot from the wing" - Is that open?

So the BB-Game Analyzer has a set of rules for these things, which you can analyse. I recommend using that tool to analyse ur games, as opposed to guessing what each thing represents.
