The statistical read
No league ranking without a qualified, same-season comparison sample. Per-36 rates describe production in the recorded role; they do not project starter minutes.
Points per 36 minutes
Assists per 36 minutes; does not measure every advantage created
Rebounds per 36 minutes; role and available rebounds matter
Percentage of field-goal attempts taken from three
Free-throw attempts per 100 field-goal attempts
True shooting percentage, weighted by attempts
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.

Inspect the record ↓0.75 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.
