Offensive efficiency in basketball is a statistical measure that evaluates how effectively a team or player produces points per possession. It reflects the ability to score relative to the number of opportunities a team has to do so, and it is often used as a way to gauge the overall offensive strength of a team.
The formula for offensive efficiency is typically:
Offensive Efficiency = Points Scored / Possessions
Where:
– Points Scored is the total number of points a team or player scores in a game or season.
– Possessions refers to the total number of times a team has an opportunity to score, which is generally calculated based on the number of field goal attempts, free throw attempts, and turnovers.
In simple terms, offensive efficiency shows how many points a team scores per 100 possessions, which helps to account for differences in pace and game style between teams. A higher offensive efficiency number indicates a more efficient offense, meaning the team is able to score more points per possession.
