Generation

Player Efficiency Rating (PER) is a single number that attempts to measure a basketball player's overall statistical contribution per minute played. It combines all of a player's positive accomplishments (points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks) and subtracts negative ones (missed shots, turnovers, fouls), then adjusts for pace of play and league averages. The league average PER is always set to 15.0, so a player with a PER above 15 is performing better than average, while below 15 is worse. Think of it as a way to compress a player's entire stat line into one efficiency score that allows for quick comparisons across different players and playing styles.
