← Efficiency

Pace

Possessions per game; how fast a team plays.

Possessions aren't in the box score, so they're estimated as FGA − OffReb + TO + 0.475×FTA (the standard estimator). Each game's possession count is the average of the two teams' estimates (both teams have roughly the same number of possessions in a game), and pace is the season total of those estimates divided by games played.

Higher is better  ·  league avg 68.7  ·  as of 2022-04-05
