Common Mistakes When Reading Player Stats

Judging only by points. A player with 19 points on 8-of-21 shooting played differently from one with 19 points on 8-of-12.
Mixing up the two games. Always check the date. The same player can have very different numbers a few days apart.
Ignoring turnovers. Ionescu’s 12 points on August 22 came with 5 turnovers, which affects how strong the game really was.
Forgetting minutes and role. Bench players score fewer points in less time, so compare carefully.
Reading “3 of 6” as 36%. It means 3 made out of 6 attempts, or 50%.

Memory Trick

Remember PRA: Points, Rebounds, Assists. These three numbers give you a quick picture of almost any player’s night. Then add one more check: shots made out of shots tried. If you know PRA and the shooting line, you can read most box scores.
