Points over expected per 100 possessions

What is points over expected per 100 possessions?

What a player adds beyond what his shots were worth. It combines the field-goal points he produces above the difficulty of the looks he took with the value of the free throws he draws above the rate those same situations usually produce.

Formula

POE/100 = FG points over expected /100 + (league FT% x drawn FTs over expected /100)

Verified against the shipped exports: the ratio of (poe100 - fgPoe100) to ftaoe100 has a median of 0.776 against a stated league FT% of 0.77.

How to read it

Zero is the league. Positive means a player produced more than his shot diet and his contact were worth; negative means less. It is a rate, so a low-possession player can post an extreme figure on very little evidence.

What it does not measure

It does not separate playstyle from skill from officiating, it carries no defensive information, and it is not evidence of referee bias.
