Main Metrics

  1. GP

    Total Games Played

  2. MPG

    Average Minutes Played per game

  3. USG

    Usage Rate per 40 minutes = [FGA + (FTA x 0.44) + (Ast x 0.33) + TO] x 40 /Min Played NOTE: TurboStats does not factor (league pace)/(team pace) into USG rate. (Big3 games (FTA x 0.44) is replaced with just (FTA))

  4. eFG%

    Effective FG% = [ (2FGM x 2 + 3FGM x 3) / 2 ] /FGA * 100. (Big 3 adds + 4FGM x 4)

  5. TS%

    (Points/2) /(FGA + .44 x FTA) * 100 (Big 3 replaces .44 with 1)

  6. Ast%

    Assists / iPoss * 100

  7. TO%

    Turnovers / iPoss * 100

  8. OREB%

    OReb / (actual offensive rebound opportunities available while a player is in the game)

  9. DREB%

    Reb / (actual defensive rebound opportunities available while a player is in the game)

  10. NET

    Normalized Efficiency Rating is the overall rating of a player's per-minute statistical production utilizing points per possession principles. The league average is around 75. This algorithm is currently proprietary. Contact TurboStats for licensing rights if you wish to use NET on your site. (see NET examples) See 4 YEAR Division I Metrics

Optional Metrics

  1. eORR

    Estimated Offensive Rebound Rate = OReb/(estimated OReb Opportunities) * 100 = OReb/[(Team OReb + Opponent DReb) * Player minutes/Team Minutes] * 100

  2. Eff

    Efficiency Total is user customizable but set for standard NBA (TENDIX) style. Points - FGMissed - FTMissed - TO + Ast + Rebounds + Steal + Block Note: Standard Tendix Efficiency (used by the NBA) favors 2 point shooting over 3pt shooing and free throw shooting leading to misleading conclusions.

  3. iPoss

    Individual Possessions(Plays) = [(FGA + (FTA x 0.44) + Assists + Turnovers] Note: iPoss is different than Team Possessions and is used to track how many times a player touches the ball (Big 3 replaces .44 with 1)
