Player Analytics Glossary

A complete reference to the advanced efficiency metrics, rate stats, and composite scores used to evaluate individual NCAA Division I basketball player performance. Every metric is calculated from official box score data with national percentile rankings. Select a category below to explore how each metric is calculated and what the benchmarks mean.

Usage Rate (USG%)

100 × ((FGA + 0.44×FTA + TOV) × (TeamMin/5)) / (Min × (TeamFGA + 0.44×TeamFTA + TeamTOV))

Estimates the percentage of team possessions a player uses while on the floor. A possession is “used” by a field goal attempt, a trip to the line, or a turnover. An average starter sits around 20% (five players on the floor, each using a fifth of possessions). Elite primary scorers reach 28–35%, meaning the offense runs through them on roughly a third of possessions. High USG% players need to maintain efficiency — a 30% USG% with poor TS% actively hurts the team.

Turnover Rate (TOV%)

100 × TOV / (FGA + 0.44×FTA + TOV)

The percentage of a player’s possessions that end in a turnover. Unlike raw turnover counts, TOV% adjusts for how often a player has the ball. A point guard handling the ball on 30% of possessions will naturally turn it over more than a spot-up shooter — TOV% normalizes for this. Below 12% is elite ball security; above 20% is a significant liability. Evaluate alongside USG% for context: a 15% TOV% at 30% USG% is more forgivable than 15% at 18% USG%.

Assist Rate (AST%)

100 × AST / ((MP/(TeamMP/5)) × TeamFGM - FGM)

Estimates the percentage of teammate field goals a player assisted while on the floor. It answers: when this player’s teammates score, how often did he create the opportunity? Top point guards reach 30%+ AST%, meaning they’re directly responsible for nearly a third of all teammate baskets during their minutes. Wings at 15%+ show strong secondary playmaking. Below 8% typically indicates a player who primarily scores rather than creates for others.
