Efficiency in basketball measures a player's overall contribution to their team. It considers points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and more.

Here's the formula used to calculate a player's efficiency rating (EFF): EFF = (Points + Rebounds + Assists + Steals + Blocks + Fouls Drawn) - (Missed Field Goals + Missed Free Throws + Turnovers + Shots Rejected + Fouls Committed)

Good efficiency ratings are important! Here's a simple breakdown:

13 or higher: High-level efficiency
8-13: Average efficiency
Below 8: Low efficiency

For example, in leagues like the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL) and the Basketball Champions League (BCL), here's how many players fall into each category:

MVP-level (13+): Around 30 players
Average (8-13): Around 50-60 players
Low (Below 8): Around 40-50 players

We're making it even easier to understand with a color-coded system:

Green: High efficiency
Yellow: Average efficiency
Red: Low efficiency
