The four factors are just basic building
00:00:02
blocks of offense or defense. So, you
00:00:05
have shooting, you have turnovers, you
00:00:07
have offensive rebounds, and you have
00:00:08
free throws. And the way those are
00:00:10
measured again is by opportunities.
00:00:12
Field goal percentage is not straight
00:00:13
field goal percentage, it's called
00:00:14
effective field goal percentage that
00:00:16
accounts for the value of a made
00:00:18
three-point shot. You find teams that
00:00:19
shoot a lot of three-pointers tend to
00:00:21
have lower field goal percentages than
00:00:22
teams that don't, but obviously there's
00:00:24
a trade-off there. When they make their
00:00:25
shots, they're getting more points out
00:00:27
of it. So, there's that. Rebounding is
00:00:28
offensive rebounding percentage, so
00:00:29
that's basically the percentage that you
00:00:31
have a chance to get an offensive
00:00:32
rebound, how often you do. Turnovers is
00:00:34
turnover percent percentage of
00:00:35
possessions you get a turnover on. So,
00:00:38
yeah, those four factors explain like
00:00:39
99% of offense and defense.
