NBA Efficiency is an official NBA metric published on NBA.com. It is the simplest possible box score composite: points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks − (field goals missed) − (free throws missed) − turnovers. Available in NBA.com stats tables.
Official and widely published. Simple to understand. Slightly better than raw points alone.
The simplest of all box score composites — essentially a raw box score sum with no coefficients, no pace adjustment, no opponent quality control, and minimal defensive component. The analytics community considers this metric essentially obsolete for any serious evaluation purpose.
Not used in APEX. NBA Efficiency is the most basic possible box score composite — the starting point that every subsequent advanced metric was designed to improve upon. It shares all of PER's limitations without even PER's pace and minutes adjustment. BPM, EPM, and LEBRON are strictly superior in every analytical dimension.
