PIE

What does PIE mean in basketball?

球员影响估值Player impact estimate

The NBA’s own composite: what share of everything positive that happened in the game this player produced. By design, everyone in the game adds up to roughly 100%.

Updated 20 Aug 2026

How it is worked out

(PTS + FGM + FTM − FGA − FTA + DREB + 0.5 × OREB + AST + STL + 0.5 × BLK − PF − TOV) ÷ (GmPTS + GmFGM + GmFTM − GmFGA − GmFTA + GmDREB + 0.5 × GmOREB + GmAST + GmSTL + 0.5 × GmBLK − GmPF − GmTOV)

The Gm prefix means the total for every player in the game — the numerator’s expression summed across all of them.

Worked through

Ten players are on court, so 10% is average. Eighteen per cent is already the best player on the team.

What it leaves out

Like PER it cannot see off-ball defense or the space a shooter’s gravity creates, so the players who contribute most in those two ways come out low.

One term down, the whole sheet to go

The numbers on a sheet lean on each other. How many free throws appear depends on the team foul count; how many rebounds exist depends on how both teams shot. Reading a whole game means reading them together.
