Pack is an offensive statistical measure that I use to evaluate all offensive players.

And what it does is it compares an offensive player to an average offensive player in the league.

Most of our systems compare players to replacement level. But in my analysis to be a

championship level team what you need is to have all of your players performing above average.

The concept there is that when Steph Curry or LeBron James or Kevin Durant

move the basketball to another player,

if that player is also above average they become almost impossible

to beat and the way we calculate pack so we figure out what the average player in the

NBA does with a scoring opportunity either a shot attempt or a free throw attempt

and then compare what every other player does in the individual possession multiply

it then by their scoring opportunities used.

This does not account for turnovers.
