In 2004, basketball analyst Dean Oliver published Basketball on Paper, introducing a framework that would fundamentally change how teams evaluate performance. The “Four Factors” distill the game of basketball into four measurable components that, together, explain roughly 90% of the variance in team offensive and defensive efficiency.
Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%) is the most impactful factor, accounting for approximately 40% of team success. Unlike standard FG%, eFG% gives appropriate credit for three-pointers, which are worth 50% more than two-pointers. In the 2025-26 season, the gap between the league's best and worst eFG% teams can be as large as 8-10 percentage points, which translates to a massive difference in scoring efficiency.
Turnover Percentage (TOV%) measures ball security and accounts for about 25% of offensive success. Every turnover is a wasted possession that gives the opponent a fast-break opportunity. Elite teams typically keep their TOV% below 13%, while struggling teams may turn the ball over on 16% or more of their possessions.
Offensive Rebound Percentage (ORB%) creates second-chance opportunities and represents roughly 20% of the equation. Teams like the Milwaukee Bucks with physical frontcourts can dominate the offensive glass, extending possessions without requiring new ones.
Free Throw Rate (FT Rate) measures a team's ability to get to the free throw line, which provides high-efficiency scoring and creates foul trouble for opponents. This accounts for approximately 15% of offensive success. Aggressive drivers like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid excel at generating free throw opportunities for their teams.
