In this lesson, we move beyond basic stats like Points Per Game (PPG) to understand how efficient players really are. We will explore two key advanced metrics: Efficiency (EFF), which gives a holistic view of a player's contribution, and True Shooting Percentage (TS%), which accurately measures shooting performance by accounting for 3-pointers and free throws.
How to read this chart: The X-axis shows Points Per Game (Volume), and the Y-axis shows True Shooting % (Efficiency). Top-right players are superstars—high volume and high efficiency. Players above the green dashed line are elite shooters.
