Advanced Stats
| Season | GP | MPG | TS% True Shooting % (TS%) Advanced Metrics A shooting efficiency metric that accounts for field goals, three-pointers, and free throws. Calculated as Points / (2 × (FGA + 0.44 × FTA)). League average is typically around 57%. More accurate than FG% because it includes the value of threes and free throws. Open in glossary → | USG% Usage Rate (USG%) Advanced Metrics An estimate of the percentage of team plays used by a player while on the court. Counts possessions ended by a field goal attempt, free throw attempt, or turnover. League average is ~20%. High-usage players (25%+) are primary scoring options. Open in glossary → | PER PER (Player Efficiency Rating) Advanced Metrics A per-minute rating developed by John Hollinger that summarizes a player's statistical accomplishments in a single number. League average is 15.0. Values above 20 indicate All-Star caliber play; above 25 is MVP-level. Open in glossary → | BPM BPM (Box Plus/Minus) Advanced Metrics A box score-based estimate of a player's contribution in points above league average per 100 possessions. 0.0 is league average, +5.0 is All-NBA level, +10.0 is MVP-level. Splits into OBPM (offensive) and DBPM (defensive). Open in glossary → | OBPM | DBPM | VORP VORP (Value Over Replacement) Advanced Metrics The total box score contribution of a player over a replacement-level player, scaled to an 82-game season. Derived from BPM and minutes played. A replacement player is defined as one who produces at -2.0 BPM. Useful for comparing total value across players with different minutes. Open in glossary → | WS Win Shares (WS) Advanced Metrics An estimate of the number of wins a player contributes to their team through their offense and defense.

League average is approximately .100. Values above .200 indicate elite production. Open in glossary → | ORtg Offensive Rating (ORtg) Advanced Metrics An estimate of the points a player produces per 100 possessions. Higher is better. League average is typically around 112-115. Individual ORtg factors in scoring efficiency, assists, and ball-handling. Open in glossary → | DRtg Defensive Rating (DRtg) Advanced Metrics An estimate of the points a player allows per 100 possessions. Lower is better. League average is typically around 112-115.
