PPP shows how many points an offence produces per possession. Depending on the context, it can describe a team, a player or a specific play type. It connects offensive output directly to the possessions used.

PPP allows offences and play types to be compared without being distorted by pace. It helps distinguish a team that scores heavily because it plays quickly from one that uses each possession efficiently, and it can expose profitable actions or defensive weaknesses.

A team scores 100 points on an estimated 90 possessions. It produces roughly 1.11 points per possession, allowing its efficiency to be assessed independently of pace.
