What is NBA Assist Percentage?

NBA Assist Percentage (AP) is a measure that indicates the percentage of possessions that end with an assist. It helps quantify a player's ability to create scoring opportunities for teammates.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the number of Assists made by the player
  2. Enter the number of Turnovers committed by the player
  3. Click the Calculate button to see the result

Example Calculation

If a player has 10 assists and 5 turnovers during a game:

AP = (10 * 100) / (10 + 5) = 1000 / 15 ≈ 66.67%

This means that approximately 66.67% of the possessions that ended with a scoring play were assisted by this player.

Significance in Basketball Analytics

Assist Percentage is a crucial metric for evaluating playmaking ability. A higher assist percentage generally indicates a better passer who can create opportunities for teammates while minimizing turnovers. It's often used alongside other efficiency metrics like Points Per Game (PPG) and Total Minutes Played to get a comprehensive view of a player's contribution.

Important Notes

  • The formula assumes that all possessions end with a score (2 or 3-pointer)
  • This calculator does not account for other factors like offensive rebounds or defensive statistics
  • For more advanced analytics, consider using additional metrics like Assist-to-Turnover Ratio (A/T Ratio)
