Basketball Usage Rate

Usage rate estimates the percentage of a team's possessions a player uses while on the floor.

Usage rate equals 100 times the sum of field goals attempted, a third of assists, turnovers and 0.44 times free throws attempted, all divided by the possessions.

Formula

QuantityVariable["USG%", "Unitless"] == (100*(0.33*QuantityVariable["AST", "Unitless"] + QuantityVariable["FGA", "Unitless"] + 0.44*QuantityVariable["FTA", "Unitless"] + QuantityVariable["TO", "Unitless"]))/QuantityVariable["POSS", "Unitless"]

symbol description physical quantity
USG% usage rate "Unitless"
POSS possessions "Unitless"
AST assists "Unitless"
FGA field goals attempted "Unitless"
FTA free throws attempted "Unitless"
TO turnovers "Unitless"
