If You Have Ever Read One of My Nba Core Plays Articles, You Have Almost Certainly Seen Me Reference a Player’s Fantasy-Point-per-Minute (Fppm) Rate. to Try and Prove Why/How That Might Go up or Down, I Probably Then Talked About That Player’s Usage Rate, Assist Rate, Rebound Rate, Etc.

What Stats Are Even Used for Us and the Players We Roster to Accrue Fantasy Points? the Easy Way to Think of It Is, If It Was in the Box Scores That Some of Us Looked at in the Morning Newspaper as We Grew Up, It Probably Is Counted as a Fantasy Stat for Our Purposes (Luckily For, Personal Fouls Are Not Counted).

I Highly Recommend Giving This Page on Basketball Reference a Skim. It Defines a Ton of Words/Phrases/Stats That Are Used in Basketball Lingo. There Are Going to Be Some That You Have Almost Certainly Heard Of, but You Might Be Surprised at How Many Seem Like a Foreign Language. for Our Purposes, We Are Interested in the Ones That Are Predictive of All of Those Stats We Just Talked About That Will Accrue Fantasy Points.
