Proprietary Basketball Metrics
Scouting4U developed four proprietary metrics for standardized cross-league player evaluation:
| Metric | Full Name | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| VAL | Valuation | The European standard basketball performance metric used in EuroLeague and FIBA. Sums positive contributions (points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks) minus negatives (missed shots, turnovers, fouls). A VAL of 15+ per game indicates elite-level performance. |
| OER | Offensive Efficiency Rating | Measures offensive output relative to possessions used. Accounts for scoring efficiency, assist creation, and turnover rate for a holistic view of offensive impact. |
| VIR | Versatility Index Rating | Quantifies a player's ability to contribute across scoring, rebounding, playmaking, and defense. High VIR indicates value in modern position-fluid basketball systems. |
| S-VALUE | Shooting Value | Standardizes shooting performance across different leagues and competition levels. Accounts for three-point volume, free throw efficiency, mid-range accuracy, and shot difficulty. |
