Message: [QUOTE="Littlemin, post: 4215923, member: 10363"] TOs, like all data, are not static. Walks, offensive fouls or bad passes that go out of bounds, for instance, are ”dead ball“ TOs meaning the ball is taken out of bounds by the opponent so you can get back and set up your defense. Generally speaking, they are considered less impactful than “live ball“ turnovers, which often can lead to runouts and easy baskets. So again, generally speaking, Points off TOs of an opponent thus becomes a more meaningful stat than just # of TOs a team commits; as second chance points given up becomes a more meaningful stat than just # of offensive rebounds an opponent gets. A 3 point shooting team may get a fair number of long offensive rebounds but their conversion rate into points could very possibly be low because of the distance from the basket they are retrieving the ball.
