About the Points Off Turnovers Concept

" ....More of the third of all regular season games played, are "decided by" points off turnovers. When we analyze a basketball game and it is said here that turnover scores were the "deciding factor" in a game, eBA System mean that the turnover

points led to one team wining the game and the other losing, and without such turnovers, the won-lost result have been switched. Points are attributable to turnovers in one of two ways - directly or indirectly. By "directly" leading to a score, eBA System mean that a fumble recovery or interception was returned for a fast break attack, and a score in the First 4/6 seconds of the shooting clock ( see the Shot Clock ). ...."

About the Possessions Concept

"....When using possessions to rate offenses and defenses, an excellent exercise in getting to know basketball, the benefits of this definition becomes clear.
We'll analyze the following 2 situations: 1) A player brings the ball up court, takes a 20 foot jump shot and makes it. 2) A player brings the ball upcourt, takes a 20 foot jump shot and
>misses, but a teammate rebounds, misses the putback, then get his own rebound and finally puts in a layup.
The first situation involves one scoring possession and one total possession regardless of which definition is used.
The second situation has one scoring and one total possession using Denver's Definition. Using the other meaning, the second situation involves one scoring possession and three total possessions.
Now, which situation represented the better offense ? ...."

Per Minute Basketball Stats

".... Per minute stats are a good manner to compare players within a team, seeing how a player off the bench might fare compared to the player in front of him in the rotation, but we must be careful about players who scarcely play - Jackie Butler may have averaged 96 points per 48 in the 5 minutes he played for the Knicks last year, but very doubtful he could have achieved it. Also, we must be careful comparing players from one team to another. For example, last season Steve Nash average 16.1 assists per 48 while Tony Parker averaged just 8.6 - a large part of the reason for that is the pace and style Phoenix plays gives Nash more opportunities than Parker.

Per-48 Stats is not meant to be a projection of what a player would average if he played 48 minutes per game. Keep in mind that it is simply an expression of per-minute stats.
They are expressed as per-48 so that the resulting averages are easy to deal with: "23 points per 48 minutes" is easier to read and understand than " 0,479 points per minute". ...."
