The NBA is the best basketball league in the world, and the players who can play in this league are talented players, they can help the team in their own way, but the players also have three, six, nine, etc., their different abilities will lead to different levels of efficiency, so how to judge the efficiency of a player? The NBA introduced the concept of efficiency value (PER), which can convert the performance of players on the court into specific efficiency values according to the formula, so that the efficiency of the player can be judged at a glance by comparing the efficiency values, and the efficiency value formula is: efficiency value = [(scoring + rebound + assist + steal + block) - (number of shots - number of hits) - (number of free throws - number of free throw hits) - number of mistakes] / the number of times the player played.
