NBA Player Efficiency Rating (PER) is a measure of a player’s overall statistical performance. The formula for PER involves several statistical categories:

1. Points Scored (PTS): Total points scored by the player.
2. Field Goals Made (FGM): Total successful field goals made by the player.
3. Field Goals Attempted (FGA): Total field goal attempts by the player.
4. Free Throws Made (FTM): Total successful free throws made by the player.
5. Free Throws Attempted (FTA): Total free throw attempts by the player.
6. 3-Point Field Goals Made (3PM): Total successful 3-point field goals made by the player.
7. Assists (AST): Total assists by the player.
8. Rebounds (REB): Total rebounds by the player.
9. Steals (STL): Total steals by the player.
10. Blocks (BLK): Total blocks by the player.
11. Turnovers (TO): Total turnovers by the player.

The formula for PER is as follows:

^{PER = (PTS/FGA) + (0.5×FTM/FTA) − (TO/FGA) + (0.5×AST/FGA) + (0.5×REB/FGA) + (STL/TO) + (BLK/FGA) − (0.5×PF/FTA)}

Where:

• PFPF refers to personal fouls committed by the player.

PER essentially provides a single number that summarizes a player’s overall contributions on the court, accounting for various statistical factors. Higher PER values indicate more efficient and productive performances.
