Per-100 possessions stats normalize production by both minutes and pace. A team that plays at a fast pace naturally has more possessions (and thus more statistical opportunities) than a slow team. Per-100 stats level this playing field. Players like Joel Embiid often look even more impressive per-100 because they produce at elite rates in moderate minutes.
Per-100 stats project what a player would produce in 100 team possessions. This adjusts for both playing time and team pace, enabling fair comparisons across different contexts.
Per-game stats are influenced by minutes played and team pace. Per-100 removes both variables. A player on a fast team gets more possessions per minute, inflating per-game totals but not per-100 numbers.
Per-100 is better for cross-team and cross-era comparisons because it accounts for pace differences. Per-36 is simpler and more intuitive when comparing players within the same system or era.
League average per-100 scoring is around 30-35 points. Elite scorers reach 40+ per 100. The all-time best per-100 scorers include Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, and modern stars like Joel Embiid.
