Looks all pretty interesting. Have you considered running correlations for a few statistic combinations, like:
Assist to turnover ratio (may be a better indication of passing)
FG% and 3P% (May be an indication of shooting - though since you get higher correlations for FGA than FGM, perhaps not).
Percentage of shots attempted which are 3 point attempts (Could be a good indicator of JR).

One other thing you could consider is maybe running the correlations over groups of players, rather than the whole field. For example, there is a correlation between ID and rebounds, which make sense, because you would expect high ID players to be bigs with more of a chance to get rebounds. Maybe this correlation would disappear if you just ran the correlations for PF/Cs only (if this makes any sense!)

Yes, no, yes yes, no, sometimes and maybe.

when i ran the 3PT% and FT% in excel, i kept getting divide by 0 errors, so I parked that stat, but yes you are right with regards to these things, it is on my list to do.

Assis to turnover ratio - hadn't thought of that, and its easy to do, so ill add that to my list.

I can run the correlations based on the player position. That's also easy to do. and it would be interesting to see if the players classified as C/PF's have a higher correlation for things like ID and RB.

I can also run the basic stats broken down by position as well, but i don't want to go into too much. I think once the data is released into the free world, people can run their own things. :)

+1 Good job mate, taking a keen interest in your findings as I keep a close eye on box scores come draft time. Sorry I couldn't contribute this season but I didn't spend any points... Keep up the good work.

This is amazing work and must have taken a ton of effort. Reading all those tiny boxes makes my eyes bleed and I am sure you have a much better understanding of the data so what I would look for is something like...

Box Scores
FG%
relationship to JS = High
relationship to JR = Medium
relationship to DR = Medium
relationship to IS = Low
relationship to HA = Low
relationship to anything else = None

Turnovers
relationship to HA = High
relationship to PA = Medium
relationship to DR = Low
relationship to JS = Low
relationship to everything else = None

Blocks
relationship to SB = High
relationship to ID = Medium
relationship to IS = Low
relationship to OD = Low
relationship to RE = Low
relationship to everything else = None
