The families

A dominant tendency reaches the top quarter of its eligible cohort. Exact ties form a mixed profile; secondary tendencies remain visible. The half court shows scoring sources, not shot attempts.

Records by profile

Combined regular-season records provide context. They do not show that a tendency causes wins: rosters, GMs and opponents also differ.

Coverage and method

Each indicator uses its own complete regular-season sample, excluding simulations. A percentile needs 5 recorded games and two eligible teams for that indicator. Tendencies start at percentile 75; the comparison cohort can differ between indicators.

  • Three-point attempt rate: 27 eligible teams
  • Three-point scoring: 27 eligible teams
  • Points in the paint: 27 eligible teams
  • Fast break points: 27 eligible teams
  • Second chance points: 27 eligible teams
  • Bench points: 27 eligible teams
  • Points off turnovers: 21 eligible teams
  • Offensive rebounding rate: 27 eligible teams
  • Possessions per game: 27 eligible teams
  • Assists per field goal: 27 eligible teams

Three-point attempt rate is three-point attempts divided by all field-goal attempts. Three-point scoring share measures points produced, so it also reflects shooting success. The map uses scoring share; the shooting tendency uses attempt rate.

Other scoring shares overlap and do not add up to a total. Assists are measured per made field goal; pace is estimated possessions per game. Offensive rebounding uses the share of available rebounds recovered, not raw totals. Second-chance points remain a separate indicator.

The half court uses only games with every scoring zone recorded. Mid-range is the remainder after three-point points, paint points and free throws. Its sample can differ from individual indicators. Records include all regular-season games, including simulations; a meeting within one family counts on both sides.

3 teams are absent from the map because three-point scoring share, paint scoring share or pace cannot yet be ranked. Each needs 5 recorded games and an eligible comparison cohort.
