Understanding Assist Percentage

Assist percentage is a measure that indicates how often a player's action results in a scoring opportunity for their teammate. It's calculated as the ratio of assists to total player touches (assists + turnovers + 0.4 × total possessions).

Example Calculation

If a player has 10 assists, 3 turnovers, and 50 total possessions, their assist percentage would be calculated as:

Assist % = (10 / (10 + 3 + (0.4 × 50))) × 100 = (10 / (10 + 3 + 20)) × 100 = (10 / 33) × 100 ≈ 30.30%

Applications

This calculator can be used by basketball analysts, coaches, and players to evaluate individual performance and compare players across different seasons or teams. A higher assist percentage generally indicates a more playmaking-oriented player who creates opportunities for teammates.
