8 calculators in this section
- Assist to Turnover Ratio and Turnover Percentage CalculatorAssist-to-turnover ratio and turnover percentage in basketball — the first a plain quotient of two counted events, the second a rate against the plays a player used, with the estimated 0.44 free throw coefficient in its denominator.
- Basketball Per Game and Per 36 Minutes CalculatorPoints, rebounds or any basketball counting statistic per game, per minute, per 36 minutes and per 40 or 48 — and the specific, one-directional way a per-36 projection misleads when it is applied to a reserve.
- Basketball Possessions and Pace CalculatorEstimated possessions and pace in basketball, computed two published ways at once so you can see how far apart they are. No league counts possessions, and the free-throw coefficient everything rests on is an empirical fit.
- Basketball Three-Point Line and Shot Clock RulesHow far the three-point line is in basketball, how long the shot clock runs and what it resets to — in the NBA, under FIBA and in NCAA men's play, each quoted from that body's own rulebook with its article number and edition. The three do not agree.
- Effective Field Goal Percentage CalculatorEffective field goal percentage in basketball — field goals plus half the three-pointers, over field goal attempts. The weighting that prices a made three at one and a half twos, why it is a rule rather than an estimate, and what it leaves out.
- Offensive and Defensive Rating CalculatorOffensive, defensive and net rating in basketball — points scored and allowed per 100 possessions. It takes the possession count from you, because the published ways of estimating one disagree by enough to change the answer.
- Player Efficiency Rating (PER) ExplainerWhat John Hollinger's player efficiency rating measures in basketball, what it needs that a box score does not contain, and what it is criticised for. This page deliberately computes no PER, and the reason is data rather than caution.
- True Shooting Percentage CalculatorTrue shooting percentage in basketball — points over twice the true shooting attempts, where a free throw counts 0.44 of an attempt. Why it beats field goal percentage, and where the 0.44 comes from.
