I decided to put together some all time numbers for the per 100 possession and other stats I have been posting here and have posted for several years on twitter. Unfortunately, reliable data (specifically individual minutes per game and offensive rebounding) only goes back until 2002, so that's as far back as I can go. Its a jumble and there are LOTS of names & numbers, but here are the Top 15 for every major category I generally chart. These numbers go from the 2001-02 season through last season. I did put a minimum of at least 1/3 of the available minutes played per player and only included players that finished the season (sorry Freddy Asprilla and Wally Judge). I also put minimums on 3PT and FT attempts. Hopefully knowing the best for each category for the last 16 seasons will give a bit of context to what is "good".
Much of this relates to the stuff @Matt Hall has been posting in articles that comes from Synergy. Their system has a bit more too it and involves more watching of film, etc. whereas I just build mine based on what I can get from team and individual traditional box score stats.
Definitions for each section of the chart:
Min% = percentage of minutes played, Off Rtg = Offensive rating or efficiency, basically points per possession, PTs = points per 100 possessions, %Poss = percentage of possessions a player is involved in, %shots = the percentage of the team's shots a player takes while on the floor, eFG% = FG%, except 3PT makes count as 1.5 makes, ORB = offensive rebounds per 100, DRB = defensive rebounds per 100, RB = total rebounds per 100, BL = blocked shots per 100, 2PT% = FG% on only 2PT attempts, FT rate = individual FTA/FGA, AS = assists per 100, A/TO = assist to TO ratio, ST = steals per 100, TO = turnovers per 100.
