Poss (basketball)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Poss is a stat used to estimate the number of offensive possessions a player is accountable for. It was developed by Dean Oliver, the first full-time statistical analyst in the NBA.

Poss = Field Goal Attempts + 0.4*Free Throw Attempts - 1.07*(Offensive Rebound Rate)*(Field Goals Missed) + Turnovers
