Our efficiency rating is a composite metric that weighs scoring (PPG), rebounding (RPG), playmaking (APG), steals (SPG x2), blocks (BPG x2), turnovers (TOPG x-1.5), and a missed field goal penalty. This creates a single number that captures a player's total statistical contribution per game.
Players are grouped into four tiers: Elite (30+), Good (22-30), Average (15-22), and Below Average (under 15). These thresholds are calibrated to roughly align with All-NBA, starter, rotation, and bench-level production.
NBA PER (Player Efficiency Rating) uses a more complex formula with pace adjustments and league-average normalization. Our efficiency rating uses a simplified but transparent formula that captures similar trends while being easier to understand and calculate.
Steals and blocks represent high-impact plays — a steal creates an extra possession while a block prevents a scoring opportunity. The x2 weight acknowledges their outsized impact relative to their frequency.
Yes. A player averaging 12 PPG with 10 RPG, 5 APG, and low turnovers can achieve a Good tier rating. Efficiency captures total contribution, not just scoring.
