3A/FGA = Percentage of three point field goal attempts per field goal attempts.

AST/FGM = Percentage of field goals that were created by an assist

AST% = Assist Percentage; formula is 100 * AST / (((MP / (Tm MP / 5)) * Tm FG) – FG). Assist percentage is an estimate of the percentage of teammate field goals a player assisted while he was on on the floor.

BLK% = Block Percentage; formula is 100 * (BLK * (Tm MP / 5)) / (MP * (Opp FGA – Opp 3PA)). Block percentage is an estimate of the percentage of opponent two-point field goal attempts blocked by the player while he was on the floor.

DRB% = Defensive Rebound Percentage; formula is 100 * (DRB * (Tm MP / 5)) / (MP * (Tm DRB + Opp ORB)). Defensive rebound percentage is an estimate of the percentage of available defensive rebounds a player grabbed while he was on the floor.

EFG% = Effective Field Goal Percentage; the formula is (FG + 0.5 * 3P) / FGA. This statistic adjusts for the fact that a 3-point field goal is worth one more point than a 2-point field goal. For example, suppose Player A goes 4 for 10 with 2 threes, while Player B goes 5 for 10 with 0 threes. Each player would have 10 points from field goals, and thus would have the same effective field goal percentage (50%).

FTA/FGA = free throw attempts per field goal attempts.

ORB% = Offensive Rebound Percentage; formula is 100 * (ORB * (Tm MP / 5)) / (MP * (Tm ORB + Opp DRB)). Offensive rebound percentage is an estimate of the percentage of available offensive rebounds a player grabbed while he was on the floor.

Pace = Team possessions per 40 minutes. Formula is (FGA + 0.47 * FTA – Off Reb + TOV) / Tm MP * 40

STL% = Steal Percentage; formula is 100 * (STL * (Tm MP / 5)) / (MP * Opp Poss). 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.

Team OR% = Team offensive rebound percentage. Formula = OR / (OR + Opp DR)*100

**Team DR% **= Team defensive rebound percentage. Formula = DR / (DR + Opp OR)*100

TO% = Turnover Percentage; formula is 100 * TOV / (FGA + 0.47 * FTA + TOV). Turnover percentage is an estimate of turnovers per 100 plays. A play is here defined as a possession-altering action: field goal attempt, turnover or free throw attempt.

TRB% = Total Rebound Percentage; formula is 100 * (TRB * (Tm MP / 5)) / (MP * (Tm TRB + Opp TRB)). Total rebound percentage is an estimate of the percentage of available rebounds a player grabbed while he was on the floor.

**TS% ** = True Shooting Percentage; formula is PTS / (2 * (FGA + 0.47 * FTA)). True shooting percentage is a measure of shooting efficiency that takes into account field goals, 3 point field goals, and free throws.

FIN = Number of team possessions a player finishes by either shooting or turning the ball over, or assists finishing by playing the assist for the made basket. Per game. Formula is (FGA + 0.47*FTA + TOV + AST).

FIN/G = Finishes per game.

minuteRatio = the percentage of gametime that the player was on the floor

Play = a ft trip, field goal or turnover (both for team and per player

USG% = Usage Percentage; formula is 100 * pl_Plays / (minuteRatio * team_plays). Usage percentage is an estimate of the percentage of team plays used by a player while he was on the floor.

PPP = pl_PTS / pl_Plays: points scored per play
