Stats Categories

Hi all,

In this post I would like to say a few words about the different stats categories that are presented by the "enhanced player stats" feature available by Basketfox by BSGoodies.

The first picture shows the stats they way they are presented by the game. The next picture shows the stats enhanced by Basketfox. There is a clear one-to-one corresponding for most of the lines and in parenthesis the averages per 40 minutes are shown. Moreover there are some additional summarizing statistics.

• 2P: for two pointers we show first the percentage and then the average shots made over shots attempted, and then the total number of 2p shots made and attempted. Please note the difference between basketsim: we show shots made (and attempted), not points made.
• FT: similarly for free throws.
• 3P: similarly for three pointers.
• RPG = rebounds per game
• DRPG = defensive rebounds per game
• ORPG = offensive rebounds per game
• BPG = blocks per game
• APG = assists per game
• SPG = steals per game
• FPG = fouls per game
• TPG = turnovers per game
• Rating PG is self explanatory and in parenthesis we show the average per 40 minutes.
• A/T is the Assists over Turnovers ratio (i.e., how many assists dished per turnover committed)
• S/T is the Steals over Turnovers ratio (i.e., how many stolen balls per turnover committed)
• (B+A+S)/T is the Blocks plus Assists plus Steals over Turnovers ratio (i.e., how many useful actions - steals, blocks, assists - per turnover committed)
• TENDEX is a popular basketball metric which calculates the efficiency of a player by dividing TENDEX points by minutes played, where TENDEX points are equal to Points-Missed Shots(both 2P and 3P)-Missed Free Throws+Assists+Blocks+Steals-Turnovers. So the formula is (Points-Missed Shots-Missed Free Throws+Assists+Blocks+Steals-Turnovers)/Minutes Played. It is considered that a value of 1 is for a "perfect" player but higher values are actually possible. In general a value 0.5 is for a very good guard and 0.7 for a very good forward/center. You can find more details in GalanisSportsData website (link deactivated temporarily).
• EconP40M = Economy per 40 minutes, where economy is the useful actions calculated as Assists+Steals+Blocks-Turnovers and then calculate the average per 40 minutes.

Best,
