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.
