Top scorer
A top scorer (from English top “top” and scorer “shooter”), Swiss spelling “top scorer”, describes a player in sport who scores the most points in a team or in a league in a game or in the entire season. The calculation basis is different in the individual sports. A player's offensive success is one of the factors that determine his athletic and financial value for the team.
Top scorer in basketball
In basketball, the term top scorer is usually used for the player who scores the most points in a game for his team. There are two points per basket success in free throws a point and throws beyond the three-point line three points. When viewed over the long term over several games, the meaning of this term disappears. On the one hand, a distinction is then made between the average points achieved per game and the total number of points. Occasionally, the total number of points is also related to the exact playing minutes of a player and converted to the length of a game.
On the other hand, the effectiveness of a player is also considered, which also takes into account the statistical values of assist, rebound, steal, block and turnover recorded in every basketball game as well as the unsuccessful attempts at throwing the basket. The desire to record the performance of a player leads, on the one hand, to increasingly precise statistics such as the Player Efficiency Rating (PER), and, on the other hand, to the knowledge that one is nevertheless dependent on subjective scouting , since not every behavior that is beneficial to the team can be statistically recorded.
