PPNScouts don't just read a stat line — they read it in context. A smart profile shows the right numbers and the information that makes them credible. Here's what matters and how to present it.
Counting stats
Points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks per game are the baseline. They tell the story of your production, but only alongside the context below. Always include games played so a scout knows the sample size.
Shooting efficiency
Efficiency separates real shooters from volume scorers. List your splits:
- FG% — overall field-goal percentage.
- 3P% — three-point percentage (with attempts, so it's meaningful).
- FT% — free-throw percentage, a strong indicator of shooting touch.
- eFG% / TS% — effective and true shooting account for threes and free throws; include them if you can.
Playmaking & defense
For guards especially, the assist-to-turnover ratio says more than raw assists — it shows decision-making. Defensively, steals and blocks are visible, but scouts also value things stats miss: positioning, communication and effort, which is why film matters alongside numbers.
Context is everything
The same stat line means very different things depending on context. Always pair your numbers with:
- Level & competition — 18 PPG in a strong conference > 30 PPG against weak opponents. See levels explained.
- Minutes & games — per-game numbers need minutes and sample size to be read correctly.
- Role — a low-usage 3-and-D wing and a lead scorer should be judged differently.
Presenting stats with context on a verified profile is what makes a scout trust them.
Which stats matter by position
- Guards — assists, assist-to-turnover, steals, 3P% and FT%.
- Wings — scoring, rebounding, splits and steals.
- Bigs — rebounds, blocks, FG% and increasingly shooting range.
Match your numbers to your position and role so scouts see exactly what you bring.
