What exactly is "efficiency" and how do you calculate it? I've seen this metric quoted elsewhere. Befuddled.

(as opposed to the alternative PER (Player Efficiency Rating)), as used by the NBA:

= (PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK − Missed FG − Missed FT - TO) / GP [1]

I thought I had read somewhere that Bjorn had grown considerably and was now 6’2” or 6’3”?

Huh. That's really interesting. And it seems like a sort of reasonable metric as well. Thanks for the explanation.

Wonder what Caitlin Clark looks like on the "efficiency" metric, as she's leading the league in TO's, and isn't shooting well percentage-wise. Does the WNBA use this as well?

Not much chatter on her but I like her game. Nice court vision. Needs to cut down on turnovers

What makes Addison unique is her rare combination of size, skill, and basketball IQ that allows her to seamlessly transition between guard and forward positions. This positional flexibility is highly valued in modern basketball, making her an asset in various lineup configurations and against different opponent strategies.

Her ability to thrive in transition after securing defensive rebounds is particularly noteworthy, as it allows her team to quickly convert defense into offense. This skill, combined with her high basketball IQ in half-court sets, makes her a coach's dream in terms of offensive initiation and execution.

Defensively, Addison's versatility shines through in her ability to guard multiple positions and provide weak-side rim protection. This defensive flexibility, coupled with her rebounding ability, allows her to be a defensive anchor for her team.

After really watching her closely during the U17 competition,
she moves really well and has a quickness about her. She looks
like a Uconn type player. She was always looking for the open
teammate. I believe she has a Uconn offer.
