A 20-point game means something different for a point guard than for a center. MatchGrade's basketball rating calculator weighs points, rebounds, assists, shooting efficiency, and turnovers differently depending on position, so the final rating reflects what that role is actually supposed to contribute.
Enter the box score stats, pick a position, and get a rating out of 10 with a full breakdown of what pushed the number up or down.

| Position | Primary stats |
|---|---|
| Point guard | Points, assists, turnovers, field goal % |
| Shooting guard | Points, field goal %, three-point %, assists |
| Small forward | Points, rebounds, assists, field goal % |
| Power forward | Points, rebounds, field goal %, blocks |
| Center | Points, rebounds, blocks, field goal % |
Steals, three-point percentage, free throw percentage, and plus-minus can all be added for more precision. Plus-minus in particular captures on-court impact that raw counting stats miss, and carries a modest weight in the final score.
A point guard plays 32 minutes with 14 points, 8 assists, 2 turnovers, and 46% shooting. Starting from 6.0, the above-average assist count and low turnover rate each add roughly 0.4 to 0.5 points, and the shooting efficiency adds a smaller amount — landing in the 7.2 to 7.6 range, a very good floor-general performance.
