The NBA also posts to the statistics section of its Web site a simple composite efficiency statistic, denoted EFF and derived by the formula, ((Points + Rebounds + Assists + Steals + Blocks) − ((Field Goals Attempted − Field Goals Made) + (Free Throws Attempted − Free Throws Made) + Turnovers)).

How to Read a Box Score

1. MIN = Minutes.
2. FGM = Field-goals made.
3. FGA = Field-goals attempted.
4. FG% = Field goal percentage.
5. 3PM = 3-pointers made.
6. 3PA = 3-pointers attempted.
7. 3P% = 3-point percentage.
8. FTM = Free throws made.

Defensive Win Shares are credited using the following formula: (marginal defense) / (marginal points per win). Sullinger gets credit for 105.0 / 34.36 = 3.1 Defensive Win Shares.

It is similar in some ways to the PER (Player Efficiency Rating) which is one of the most underrated stats in the NBA. Basically it measures how well the player does per 100 possessions, thus allowing players to be compared to one another by seeing what they accomplish per possession.

Anything above a 1.0 is good. Anything below it? It needs some work. Isolating by shot type, free throws are usually going to be your highest points per possession total, hovering somewhere near 1.3.

List of Current Players with the Highest Perimeter Defense Attribute on NBA 2K21

He’s averaged 1.6 steals per game for his career, a moderately high mark for a guard. However, there is some risk involved in his reach-heavy style. When Harden sticks out his arm in transition, he essentially gives up defensive position and can let the other team run by him.

Now in his seventh season in head coach Steve Kerr’s switch-heavy scheme, Curry, 32, is a big reason the Warriors boast the NBA’s fourth-best defense. Though he won’t be mistaken for a lockdown defender anytime soon, he handles his assignment well enough to be considered above average.

Stephen Curry has made 3.7 threes per game in his career.

“Stephen Curry has no defensive skills. He’s a great offensive player, but he IS NOT the best player in the NBA.
