This is the closest breakdown I can find by shot type. It looks at FG% by Drives, Close Shots, Catch and Shoot, Pull Up Shots, and Total eFG%.
Shooting Efficiency (Pull Up Shots FG% & 2+ Pull Up shots/game)
Guys like Tobias Harris (ORL) and Jerryd Bayless (BOS) stand out because unlike most of the guys in that list, their eFG% is fairly low. So basically their other shots are pulling down their efficiency. If Tobias stopped taking catch-and-shoots, he'd suddenly be significantly more efficient.
On the flip side, a guy like Jeff Green is terrible at pull-up shots. If you want to win with him, you'd want make sure you avoid putting him in a situation where he needs to take them.
Applying this thought-process to the Celtics might mean we should be looking for guys with a great catch-and-shoot abilities to leverage Rondo's passing. Suddenly a guy like John Salmons is interesting, even though I didn't even know he existed until I started looking at these numbers.
