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.
95.8% of attempts from three places Nicolas Batum at the 100th percentile among all qualified players, across positions. The willingness is in the record. Whether defenders stay attached is a separate film question.
60.3% true shooting places Nicolas Batum at the 71st percentile among all qualified players, across positions. The next question is how much of that efficiency survives harder shots or a larger role.
40.4% from three on 228 attempts. Separate catch-and-shoot looks from pull-ups, and open attempts from contested ones, before projecting the percentage.
1.73 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.
