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.

Scoring efficiency

61.0% true shooting places Bryce McGowens at the 76th percentile among all qualified players, across positions. The next question is how much of that efficiency survives harder shots or a larger role.

Film question

How much should you trust the jumper?

40.9% from three on 93 attempts. Fewer than 100 attempts leave plenty of room for the percentage to move. Watch the misses and the closeouts, too.

Film question

Decisions under pressure

3.65 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.
