PER: strives to measure a player's per-minute performance, while adjusting for pace. A league-average PER is always 15.00, which permits comparisons of player performance across seasons.
PER takes into account accomplishments, such as field goals, free throws, 3-pointers, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals, and negative results, such as missed shots, turnovers and personal fouls. The formula adds positive stats and subtracts negative ones through a statistical point value system. The rating for each player is then adjusted to a per-minute basis so that, for example, substitutes can be compared with starters in playing time debates. It is also adjusted for the team's pace. In the end, one number sums up the players' statistical accomplishments for that season.
Rebound %: An estimate of percentage of available rebounds a player grabbed when on the floor.
Win Shares: An estimate of number of wins contributed by a player due to his offense and defense
Plus/Minus: A box score estimate of number of points per 100 possessions a player contributed above a league average player translated to an average team. 0.0 would be average.
