What the grade is made of
Points per 100 possessions each part adds or takes away, against a league-average player. The grade then counts how much he plays: what he adds per game over a replacement-level player.
- Points above what an average shooter scores on the same shots, against this defense+2.6
- Assists, above an average player's rate−1.4
- Blocks, above an average player's rate+0.7
- Shots and free-throw trips taken on, above an average player's share−0.7
- Defensive rebounds, above an average player's rate+0.5
- Offensive rebounds, above an average player's rate−0.5
- Turnovers, above an average player's rate+0.3
- Personal fouls, above an average player's rate−0.1
- Steals, above an average player's rate−0.0
- These add up to +1.4 this season. The grade uses +2.0: early in the season it's blended with last season's +3.7 until his minutes build up.
