League percentiles: 412 players with at least 20 games, 300 minutes and 100 field-goal attempts in 2025-26. Higher means more of the named statistic. Per-36 rates describe production in the recorded role; they do not project starter minutes.

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 ↗Assist production
4.5 AST / 36 places Nikola Jović at the 71st percentile among all qualified players, across positions. Assists make passing worth studying. They do not capture missed reads or possessions without the ball.
Inspect the record ↓How much should you trust the jumper?
26.9% from three on 167 attempts. Separate catch-and-shoot looks from pull-ups, and open attempts from contested ones, before projecting the percentage.
Inspect the record ↓Decisions under pressure
1.57 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.

Where the shots actually came from.
10 attempts
3 of the last 3 recorded regular-season appearances have event logs that reconcile with the player’s box-score shooting totals. These zones describe that subset.
Rim: under 4 feet. Short twos: 4 to under 14 feet. Long twos: 14 feet and farther. NBA event labels determine three-pointers. 66.7% of made field goals carried an assist credit in these logs.
