Our Proprietary Metrics
Our proprietary metric suite delivers insight and value in quick, easy-to-read formats, and scales to every level of the game. The suite features two overall ratings (RAM and C-RAM) and five skill scores (5-Metric Suite). Together, these seven metrics comprise a strong introduction to a player and his or her style of play, context, strengths, and weaknesses.
C-RAM
Our Context Metric — C-RAM contextualizes a player’s performance within the event he/she is playing in.
As RAM measures total overall performance, C-RAM measures performance compared to the average. Grading a player in this fashion offers immediate and important contextual insights as competitions feature all varieties of talent, levels, and ages.
RAM
Our Base Unit — RAM takes box score stats to create a single, clean performance score.Carefully balancing efficiency, volume, and per-minute impact, RAM is a metric that looks and feels like basketball.
A player’s performance for the event is graded on a scale from 0 to 1000+ with no hard ceiling, allowing truly exceptional performances to speak for themselves.
5-Metric Suite
As the RAM & C-RAM represent the Who, What, When, and Where of a player’s performance, the 5MS (5 Metric Suite) represents the Why and How. Each skill score is graded on the same 100+ point scale: 60+ = Good | 80+ = Great | 100+ = Elite
PSP: Player Scoring Prowess
is our scoring metric - blending the two major components of scoring - volume and efficiency - to create a role-neutral representation of scoring ability.
3PE: Three-Point Efficiency
is, as you may have guessed, our three-point shooting metric 3PE can place high percentage, low volume shooters on a continuum alongside low percentage, high volume shooters.
FGS (Floor General Skills)
is the metric we have built to explore passing. FGS can, similarly to PSP, better frame both high and low usage creators for their positive outcomes relative to role expectations, within a league context or grading against a team’s historical performance.
ATR (Around The Rim)
is comprised of the traditional around the basket indicators for good around-the-rim play – offensive and defensive rebounds, blocks, fouls and 2-point efficiency. Back to the basket bigs who do most of their production around the basket tend to score the highest.
DSI (Defensive Statistical Impact)
is an all-in-one defensive metric that focuses on events creation - combining possession-winning actions (steals, blocks, offensive rebounds) against defensive efficiency (fouls).
