Myles Turner

Percentiles (0–100) rank him against every player with 500+ minutes that season (379 players in 2025-26), or only against his position group (Guards, Wings, Bigs, from Basketball-Reference's play-by-play position estimate) when “vs position” is on. Tiers: Elite 90+ · Strong 70–89 · Average 40–69 · Below avg 20–39 · Weak 0–19. Roles are simple rules applied in order; the first one that fits wins.

Scoring

How much he scores and how efficiently. Category score = weighted average of the graded metrics' percentiles in that category, re-ranked 0-99 against every qualified player (or every player in his position group when 'vs position' is on). Style numbers (weight 0) are shown but not graded.

PTS/75Scoring volume

Points he scores per 75 possessions he's on the floor (about one full game). How: Basketball-Reference points per 100 possessions × 0.75.

rTSEfficiency vs league

True shooting compared with the league average that season, in percentage points. How: Player TS% − league TS% (league = total points ÷ 2 × (FGA + 0.44 × FTA) over every player).

adj Rim FG%Finishing at the rim

How often his shots within 3 feet go in, volume-adjusted. How: (rim makes + 50 × league rim FG%) ÷ (rim attempts + 50). Rim attempts = FGA × share of FGA from 0-3 ft (Basketball-Reference shooting).

Style numbers (weight 0) are shown but not graded.

adj 3P%3-point accuracy

Three-point percentage, pulled toward league average when he takes few threes. How: (3PM + 100 × league 3P%) ÷ (3PA + 100). The raw 3P% shows in the tooltip.

adj FT%Free-throw accuracy

Free-throw percentage, volume-adjusted. A strong signal of shooting touch. How: (FTM + 50 × league FT%) ÷ (FTA + 50).

Creation

Creating shots for himself and for teammates. Category score = weighted average of the graded metrics' percentiles in that category, re-ranked 0-99 against every qualified player (or every player in his position group when 'vs position' is on). Style numbers (weight 0) are shown but not graded.

SCE/75Shot creation est.

Baskets he creates per 75 possessions: his own unassisted makes plus the makes he assists. How: (unassisted 2PM + unassisted 3PM + AST) per 100 possessions × 0.75. Unassisted = FGM × (1 − share assisted), Basketball-Reference shooting.

LoadCreation load

How much of the offense runs through him: the average of his usage rate and assist rate. How: (USG% + AST%) ÷ 2.

AST%Playmaking

Share of teammates' baskets he assists while on the floor. How: Basketball-Reference assist percentage.

Unast%Self-created makes

Share of his own made shots that nobody assisted. How: 1 − (assisted FGM ÷ FGM).

TOV%Ball security

Turnovers per 100 plays he uses. Lower is better, so the bar is flipped. How: Basketball-Reference turnover percentage: TOV ÷ (FGA + 0.44 × FTA + TOV). Lower is better.

Box-score D

Defense measured from the box score: steals, DBPM, defensive win shares and rating (no tracking or matchup data). Category score = weighted average of the graded metrics' percentiles in that category, re-ranked 0-99 against every qualified player (or every player in his position group when 'vs position' is on). Style numbers (weight 0) are shown but not graded.

STL%Steals

Share of opponent possessions that end with his steal while he's on the floor. How: Basketball-Reference steal percentage.

DBPMDefensive box +/-

The defensive half of box plus/minus. The box score misses a lot of defense, so treat it as rough. How: Basketball-Reference DBPM (points per 100 possessions vs an average player).

DWS/48Defensive win shares

Defensive win shares per 48 minutes. Leans heavily on team defense. How: Basketball-Reference DWS × 48 ÷ MP.

DRtgDefensive rating

Points allowed per 100 possessions, Dean Oliver's individual estimate. Lower is better. How: Basketball-Reference individual defensive rating. Lower is better.

Rim & glass

Rim protection, shot blocking and rebounding. Category score = weighted average of the graded metrics' percentiles in that category, re-ranked 0-99 against every qualified player (or every player in his position group when 'vs position' is on). Style numbers (weight 0) are shown but not graded.

Rim pts saved/100Rim protection

How many points a defender saves at the rim per 100 opponent possessions, from fewer shots at the rim and fewer makes on the ones that are taken. 0 is league average, +2 is elite, +4 is historic. How: Spreadsheet Sports Rim Protection: lineup-adjusted (ridge regression on every 10-man unit, with a block-rate prior), 2024-25 + 2025-26 pooled. Deterrence × (1.31 − 1.00) + FG% saved × 25.5 rim attempts per 100. Needs 1,000+ minutes over the two seasons.

WS/48Win shares per 48

Wins he produced per 48 minutes. How: Basketball-Reference WS/48.
