Statistician's Digest: The Most Accurate Passers' Formula

About the eBA formula to measure who were the most accurate passers, and who passed without turning it over, we must understand, first of all, that the meaning of this type of formulas is more in the rankings of the players, meanwhile the number itself doesn't mean anything in terms of basketball analysis. It depends on number of touches, passes, minutes played and teammates on the floor, and you can't simply blow up bad passes on a passes per minute basis.

For ranking purposes you can apply this method which retorts the percentage of touches that were bad passes, in addition to the league average:

League Bad Pass% = sum(Bad Pass) / sum (Touch)
Player Bad Pass% = Bad Pass / Touch

Bad Pass over Average = ( Player Bad Pass% - League Bad Pass% ) * Touch
