How to read this profile
Percentiles compare this season’s qualified NBA players across all positions. Rebounding reflects opportunity as well as skill; assists depend on touches and teammates; shot volume does not measure gravity. True shooting uses aggregate points and attempts, with a 0.44 free-throw multiplier. Per-36 rates use recorded minutes, which may be rounded in historical NBA game logs.
NBA source record ↗How much should you trust the jumper?
21.1% from three on 90 attempts. Fewer than 100 attempts leave plenty of room for the percentage to move. Watch the misses and the closeouts, too.
Inspect the record ↓Decisions under pressure
1.46 assists per turnover is a starting point. Rewatch possessions against traps and late-clock pressure; this ratio alone cannot tell you how difficult the passing job was.
