A player produces points through made shots, assists, and offensive rebounds. The number of points produced by the various methods depends upon the actual number of points scored (e.g., two-pointer vs three-pointer) and the importance of the player's contribution.
A player assists a teammate on a made two-point basket and is credited with roughly 25% of one scoring possession or about one-half of one point produced; the teammate who makes the basket receives roughly 75% of one scoring possession or about 1.5 points produced. A player assists a teammate on a made three-point basket and is credited with roughly 15% of one scoring possession or about one-half of one point produced; the teammate who makes the basket receives roughly 85% of one scoring possession or about 2.5 points produced. The amount of credit given to the various players depends upon the difficulty of their contribution to the score.
The sum of all teammates' individual points produced should be very close to the number of points actually scored by the team.
