Modern NBA analytics blends traditional counting stats with advanced efficiency metrics to paint a complete picture of player performance. Our leaderboard covers all key categories with percentile color coding so you can instantly spot elite production, league-average performance, and below-average output.
Scoring Statistics
PPG (Points Per Game)
The most fundamental scoring metric. The NBA league average is roughly 15 PPG for qualified players. Elite scorers average 25+, and a 30+ PPG season puts a player among the scoring leaders in NBA history.
TS% (True Shooting Percentage)
The most comprehensive shooting efficiency metric, incorporating 2-point field goals, 3-pointers, and free throws into a single number. League average is around 57%. A TS% above 60% is very efficient; above 65% is elite. Unlike FG%, TS% properly rewards three-point shooting and free-throw drawing.
eFG% (Effective Field Goal Percentage)
Adjusts FG% to account for the extra value of three-pointers. A made three is worth 1.5 times a made two, so eFG% adds 50% credit for threes. League average is around 53%. Unlike TS%, eFG% does not factor in free throws.
FG% / 3P% / FT%
Traditional shooting splits. FG% measures overall field goal accuracy (league avg ~47%). 3P% measures three-point accuracy (league avg ~36%). FT% measures free throw accuracy (league avg ~78%). Together, they form the classic "shooting splits" line.
Counting Statistics
RPG (Rebounds Per Game)
Total rebounds per game including offensive and defensive boards. A center averaging 10+ RPG is considered a strong rebounder. Guards typically average 3-5 RPG, while elite rebounding forwards average 8-12.
APG (Assists Per Game)
Passes leading directly to a made basket. Elite point guards average 8-10+ APG. The league leader typically averages 10+. Non-guards averaging 5+ APG indicates strong playmaking ability.
SPG / BPG (Steals / Blocks Per Game)
Defensive counting stats. League leaders in steals average around 1.5-2.0 SPG; in blocks around 2.0-3.0 BPG. These stats undercount defensive impact but are useful for identifying disruptive defenders.
TOPG (Turnovers Per Game)
Lower is better. High-usage players naturally turn it over more, so context matters. An assist-to-turnover ratio above 2.5 is considered strong ball security.
Advanced Metrics
Usage Rate (USG%)
Estimates the percentage of team possessions a player uses while on the floor (via FGA, FTA, and turnovers). League average is 20%. Stars typically have 28-33% usage. Higher usage often comes with lower efficiency, so the best players maintain high TS% at high USG%.
REB% (Rebound Percentage)
The percentage of available rebounds a player grabs while on the floor. Unlike RPG, REB% adjusts for pace and minutes, making it a better measure of true rebounding ability. An elite REB% is 20%+.
Per-Minute Rates (Pts/Min, Ast/Min)
Rate stats that normalize production by playing time. Useful for comparing players with different minute loads and identifying bench players who produce at a high rate in limited time.
PER (Player Efficiency Rating)
A per-minute rating that summarizes a player's statistical accomplishments. League average is 15.0 by design. A PER above 20 is very good; above 25 is elite; above 30 is historically great. PER overweights volume scorers and undervalues defense.
Fantasy & DFS Metrics
DK PPG (DraftKings Points Per Game)
Average DraftKings fantasy points per game using DK's scoring system: 1 pt per point, 1.25 per rebound, 1.5 per assist, 2 per steal, 2 per block, -0.5 per turnover, and bonuses for double-doubles and triple-doubles.
DK PPM (DraftKings Points Per Minute)
Fantasy points per minute played. A rate-based efficiency metric for DFS. Helps identify players who produce the most fantasy value per minute on the floor, useful for finding value plays with projected minute increases.
