Statistician's Digest: How Many Possessions a Player Uses ?

"... I was thinking about the fact that big men score more efficiently, and use less possessions to get their statistics, and guards averages three times as many assists as them, thus making the big men more valuable. The question is if there is at the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System a statistic that tracks how many possessions an offensive player uses to obtain his numbers. ..."

The eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System want to know how "efficient" a player is with the amount of possessions they use and, therefore, applies the Usage Rate ( see the eBA Basketball Encyclopedia ): UR measures the number of possessions a player consumes per 40 minutes, and is calculated

40 * (Lg Pace / Tm Pace) * ((FGA + 0.44*FTA + 0.33*AST + TO) / Min)

"Pace" is an estimate of the number of possessions per 48 minutes by a team, and is found by

48 * ((Tm Poss + Opp Poss) / (2*(Tm MP / 5)))

Also, looking at any stat on a per-minute basis (for example, pts/40 minutes) is a better measurement of who's doing well, being a good idea to avoid the use of per-game stats completely in the modern basketball game analysis.
