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.

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.

Open in glossary → | WS/48 WS/48 (Win Shares per 48 Minutes) Advanced Metrics Win Shares scaled to a per-48-minute rate, allowing comparison between players with different playing time. 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.
