The Ultimate Guide to Basketball Statistics
Basketball Stats are a great way to interpret what is happening on the field. Basketball is a game of many facets and players all have different strengths and different roles on the court. So ultimately it is not fair to judge them all by one simple stat such as points.
So smart reporters and front office managers, evaluating players have come up with many different statistics that hopefully capture the impact a player has on their team and the game.
At NBN23 we are just getting started to help also the grassroots players, coaches and fans understand the game in a more meaningful way.
We want players to be able to identify with the game they love and find other measurements than points to track and evaluate their performance or that of their team.
We have all had that one coach who tells us to play better defense, but what does that actually mean? Are we rebounding well enough? Are we getting steals? Are we giving up too many 3 pointers from the right corner or is the other team just shooting layups?
All these things will now be answered for you in real-time. Find the pride in your game and prepare for your next opponent all with LIVE stats of your games.
