Turnovers

A turnover is a lost ball that ends a possession without a shot attempt.

Why it matters

  • Turnovers erase offensive chances and feed the opponent.

How to interpret it

  • Lower team turnovers (or higher AST/TO) usually signal cleaner offense.

How DRBL uses it

  • Player and team boards; CPI subtracts TOV; Team Compare Possessions category.
