A new version of the Editing Guide has been posted. This is a "rough notes" list of the changes.
A sample page where we got these statistics is found at:

Stats are on this page
All Stats for this came from NBA.com
Layup Rating = Driving Layup % +10, if player shot no driving layups you can use overall Layup %. Should never be higher than Standing Layup Ratings.
“New Layup Ratings”(Euro, Hop Step, Etc) = Layup ratings – 10 for athletic players. For Bigs I have these set to 25 unless they are know to be more athletic than that. EX. Thad Young is a PF he has Layup Rating - 10
Post Fadeaway – Use Turnaround Fadeaway Shot % based on Inside % chart in guide (I had to expand it on the low side), not sure all turnaround fadeaways are from the post, but I don't know what else to use
Hook Shot – Use Hook Shot % and Inside Scale
*Remember these are post shots a surprising number of players will have 25 in both these as they do not post or shoot post shots. I am not going to start making up ratings for players after putting all this effort into making them as realistic as possible

Tendencies: I looked at several shot types and used my judgement for a lot of this. For example, if a player only shot a handful of pull-up jumpers I gave them a low pull-up tendency
For TT tendencies I went with All 4 total 100 system, so for example: Thaddeus Young TT tendencies are: PF=5 TT=10 TT Shot=10 No TT= 75
For Shot Types, we looked at the # of these types of shots the player took on NBA.com.
I'll keep it really simple for now: Lets say a player took 100 jump shots and 5 of them were fadeaways, that means 5% of his total jumpshots were fadeaways so in fadeaway tendency he gets a 5.
Same for the others, if the same player shot 15 step back j's that tendency would be 15
I used turnaround jumpshots(non-fadeaway) for Spin J's.
One thing I noticed was that, regardless of what people think they see on TV, according to NBA.com, these type of shots do not occur often for 99% of players
For Dunk(v layup) I took layups shots taken+dunks, then found what the % dunks was of that total: 90 layups + 10 dunks = 100, 10 is 10% of 100 so this player gets a 10 dunk tenedency Real Life example: T. Young - 42 Dunks+219 Layups=261 42 is 16% of 261 so he has a 16 dunk tendency
Alley oops = total # of oops attempted(top of NBA.com stats)
I added Bank jump shot and Bank Hook Shot to get Use Glass tenedency
For Post Shots I used this to set to Post Shots(overall) tend.

For Post Hook and Fadeaway I just used the raw attempt numbers.
So if a player took 67 hook shots and 12 turnaround fadeaways:
Post Hook=67
Post Fade=12
I put shimmy and hop shots to zero for the time being, you could split the Fades in half or partially for shimmy shots if you want.
