Sunday's Reflexions on Basketball Statistics:
About the Points per Possession Basketball Statistic

Many coaches are now using what is called Points/Possession, or Turnovers/Possession. The Pts./Poss. is an impartial reliable stat when all things are considered.

However it doesn't take into account the optimal pace as which a team plays. Team A that receives 90 points may actually produce a better defensive efficiency than team B that allowed 80 points: in a fast paced game, Team A received 90 points but in 90 possessions.

Here at Respect Kobe, we pride ourselves on being fair and rational in our evaluation of players — including our beloved Kobe Bryant, as well as any challengers to his title of “best basketball player alive.”

This means their defensive efficiency was 1.0. Team B on the other hand received only 80 points but in a much slower paced game in 60 total possessions. That is a defensive efficiency of 1.3 actually worse than team A who allowed ninety points.

Points per possession is a completely good stat but what is more important is to break it down into ranges such as an offensive or defensive efficiency when you score or allow 90-100 points, 80-90, 70-80 and so forth. The parameter we will find is that the team have better offensive and defensive efficiency ratings when he plays at its team's optimal pace. The eBA System do this break down in his "Quarters Reports", when the game is Analyzed every 5 minutes by separate.
