TEAM STATS

1 PACE

Formula: (FGA + 0.47*FTA – OR + TO) / MIN *

40

About: Pace is measured in possessions per

40 minutes, following the logic that a team

which needs less time on the shotclock to end

the possession, has more possessions

available over the course of a game/season.

Note: Pace’s weakness is that it doesn’t

distinguish between offensive and defensive

pace. A team that takes little time to take a

shot may drop in the pace category if it

defends well/forces the opponent to use

most of the 24 seconds.

2 OFFENSE

Offensive rating and eFG%

Formula: Offensive rating is

points per 70 offensive

possessions. EFG% is

(0.5*3FGM + FGM) / FGA

About: Measuring in points

per game is more accurate

than per game since it

accounts for minutes played

(example: overtimes) and

game pace. Example: CSKA

Moscow was just 11th

in

points per game in the

2008/2009 season, but 2nd

in

points per possessions.

Reason: they used much

more time on the shotclock

for their possessions, hence

they had about 10 offensive

possessions less per game

than the league’s fastest

teams.

EFG% accounts for the fact

that a three point shot counts more than a two point shot. Example: Player A takes 6 shots,

makes 3, all two point shots. He produces 6 points on a 50% field goal percentage. Player B

takes 6 shots as well, makes only 2, but both are three point shots. That is 6 points on a 33%

field goal percentage. Under eFG%, both players shoot 50%.


Close range shooting

Glossary:

CR % = close range shooting percentage

CRM ASSISTED % = percentage of made close range shots that were created by an assist

CRA /FGA % = percentage of field goal attempts that were close range shots


Midrange shooting

Glossary:

MR % = midrange shooting percentage

MRM ASSISTED % = percentage of made midrange shots that were created by an assist

MRA /FGA % = percentage of field goal attempts that were midrange shots


Three point shooting

Glossary:

3FG % = three point shooting percentage

3FGM ASSISTED % = percentage of made three point shots that were created by an assist

3FGA /FGA % = percentage of field goal attempts that were three point shots


Free throw shooting

Glossary:

FT % = free throw percentage

FTA/FGA % = free throw attempt to three point attempt ratio


Assists

Glossary: A/FGM % = percentage of made

field goals that were created by an assist


Turnovers

Glossary: TO/POS = turnovers per 70

possessions


3 DEFENSE

Defensive rating

Formula: Defensive rating is opponent points

scored per 70 opponent possessions.

About: See offensive rating


Opponent close range shooting

Glossary:

CR % = opponent close range shooting percentage

CRM ASSISTED % = percentage of made close range shots by the opponent that were created

by an assist

CRA /FGA % = percentage of opponent field goal attempts that were close range shots


Opponent midrange shooting

Glossary:

MR % = opponent midrange shooting percentage

MRM ASSISTED % = percentage of made midrange shots by the opponent that were created

by an assist

MRA /FGA % = percentage of opponent field goal attempts that were midrange shots


Opponent three point shooting

Glossary:

3FG % = opponent three point shooting percentage

3FGM ASSISTED % = percentage of made three point shots by the opponent that were

created by an assist

3FGA /FGA % = percentage of opponent field goal attempts that were three point shots


Opponent free throw to field goal ratio

Glossary: FTA/FGAO % = opponent free throw

attempt to field goal attempt ratio


Steals

Glossary: TO/POS = steals per 70 opponent

possessions


Shot blocking

Glossary: B/70POSO % = blocks per 70

opponent possessions


4 REBOUNDING

Offensive rebounding

Formula: Off Reb / (Missed field goals +

missed free throws) * 100

About: Offensive Rebounding percentage is

more accurate than offensive rebounds per

game, since it takes missed shots under

consideration. A team that misses only few

shots has less of a chance for an offensive

rebound. A team that plays at a slow pace, will

take less shots in general.


Defensive rebounding

Formula: Def Reb / (opp. Missed field goals +

opp. Missed free throws)

About: See offensive rebounding


INDIVIDUAL TOPS

1 SCORING BY POSITION

Points, eFG% and TS%


Glossary:

PTS/28 MINUTES = points per 28 minutes

eFG% = see offensive rating

TS% = Adjusts to not only three point shooting, but also free throw shooting

Close range shooting


Glossary:

CRM/28 MINUTES = made close range shots per 28 minutes

CRA/28 MINUTES = attempted close range shots per 28 minutes

CR% = close range shooting percentage

Midrange shooting


Glossary:

MRM/28 MINUTES = made midrange shots per 28 minutes

MRA/28 MINUTES = attempted midrange shots per 28 minutes

MR% = midrange shooting percentage

Three point shooting


Glossary:

3FGM/28 MINUTES = made three point shots per 28 minutes

3FGA/28 MINUTES = attempted three point shots per 28 minutes

3FG% = three point shooting percentage

2 REBOUNDING BY POSITION

Offensive rebounding

Formula: OFF REB % = 100 * (ORB * (Tm MP /

5)) / (MP * (Tm ORB + Opp DRB)).

About: Offensive rebound percentage is an

estimate of the percentage of available

offensive rebounds a player grabbed while he

was on the floor. It is a lot more accurate than

offensive rebounds per game since it adjusts to

minutes played, pace, and how many shots the

team misses.


Defensive rebounding

Formula: DEF REB % = 100 * (DRB * (Tm MP /

5)) / (MP * (Tm DRB + Opp ORB))

About: See offensive rebound percentage


Total rebounding

Formula: TOT REB % = 100 * (TRB * (Tm MP /

5)) / (MP * (Tm TRB + Opp TRB)).

About: See offensive rebound percentage


3 ASSISTS

Assist percentage by position

Formula: 100 * AST / (((MP / (Tm MP / 5)) *

Tm FG) – FG).

About: Assist percentage is an estimate of the

percentage of teammate field goals a player

assisted while he was on the floor.


Assists on close range shots

Glossary:

CR ASSISTS/28 MIN = assists on close range shots, per 28 minutes

% OF ALL ASSISTS = close range assists / total assists

Assists on midrange shots

Glossary:

MR ASSISTS/28 MIN = assists on midrange shots, per 28 minutes

% OF ALL ASSISTS = midrange assists / total assists

Assists on three point shots

Glossary:

CR ASSISTS/28 MIN = assists on three point shots, per 28 minutes

% OF ALL ASSISTS = three point assists / total assists

Assist / Turnover ratio


4 TURNOVERS BY POSITION

Formula: TURNOVER % = 100 * TOV / (FGA +

0.47 * FTA + TOV).

About: Turnover percentage is an estimate of

turnovers per 100 (individual) plays.


5 STEALS BY POSITION

Formula: STEALS % = 100 * (STL * (Tm MP / 5))

/ (MP * Opp Poss).

About: Steal Percentage is an estimate of the

percentage of opponent possessions that end

with a steal by the player while he was on the

floor.


6 SHOTBLOCKING BY POSITION

Formula: BLOCKS % = 100 * (BLK * (Tm MP / 5))

/ (MP * (Opp FGA – Opp 3PA)).

About: Shot blocking percentage is an estimate

of the percentage of opponent two-point field

goal attempts blocked by the player while he

was on the floor.


7 EFFICIENCY RATING BY POSITION

Formula: EFF/28 MIN = ((PTS + AS + REB + ST +

BL) – ((FGA – FGM) + (FTA – FTM) + TOV)) /

MIN * 28

Notes: Results for EFF/40 MIN are quite close

to the results of John Hollinger’s PER


8 PLAYER VALUE

2-year unadjusted oncourt/offcourt plus/minus


Glossary:

PTS FOR/70 POS = team points scored per 70 possessions while player is oncourt minus team

points scored per 70 possessions while player is offcourt

PTS AG/70 POS = opponent team points scored per 70 possessions while player is oncourt

minus opponent team points scored per 70 possessions while player is offcourt

NET PTS = PTS FOR/70 POS – PTS AG/70 POS

About: Measured per 70 possessions (ca. 40 minutes pace-adjusted). Plus/minus does not

use any sort of common individual boxscore statistics. It is a simple comparison between

team performance (points scored and conceded) while the player is on the court, compared

to team performance while he is on the bench. In order to enable comparison between

oncourt and offcourt performance, every separate category is scaled to 70 possessions.

2-year regularized adjusted plus minus

Source: http://stats-for-the-nba.appspot.com/euroleague-ranking

About: Adjusted plus/minus is an advanced plus/minus method which adjusts to the quality

of opponent players and teammates.
