How many players do score a point per possession?

Most of the best players on any given team

Points Per Possession is one of the most useful stats in the game. Points per possession shows you how efficiently a team or individual scores. One of the most over rated stats is Points Per Game; which doesn’t take into consideration style of play. Teams like UNI are undervalued and running teams are overvalued based solely on points per game. The points per possession statistic proves that, while scoring is important, how you score is equally (if not more) important.

If Austin Pehl starts scoring a point per possession and the rest of the team maintains what they are doing, we're going to be nearly unstoppable.

These sorts of things are fun to look at, but really don't mean anything until February

I get that. Austin Pehl isn't one of the best players on our team. I don't see any reason to expect him to score a point per possession.

We are one of Lunardi's first four out, with Creighton being a #6 and Wichita being a #10. Good chance to make a nice statement tomorrow night.

That is the biggest if I have ever heard.

I told the guy next to me at the game when AP hit his second shot - "We've got this game won! - Pehl has 4 points!"

Which is why I made the if statement. We don't need Austin to be a scorer, he needs to do what he's been doing: grabbing rebounds, setting screens, and wearing down the opponent's centers. Any points are a bonus.

I will take that from Austin every single game, with the occasional 8 point game.

I'd like to see the rebounds go up, but 5 boards in 8 minutes is pretty damn good.

If he can average 4.5 and 6 per night we will be very tough.
