One critical statistic in the NBA which shows how valuable the player is for his team is the Player Efficiency Rating (PER); a per-minute rating for each player in the NBA developed by John Hollinger of ESPN. In Hollinger’s words, “The PER sums up all a player’s positive accomplishments, subtracts the negative accomplishments, and returns a per-minute rating of a player’s performance.”
The PER is one of the most valuable stats in basketball as it calculates and shows the true value of each player for the time he is on the court. As November is coming to an end, and the European players are playing excellent, putting up impressive numbers and leading their team, Eurohoops presents you with the top five European players in PER rating so far, this season.
