How did we come up with the Most Improved Players? We used the numbers & data!
EFF, stands for Player Efficiency.
EFF is measured by adding up all of the production stats (points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks), subtracting all missed shots (field goals and free throws) and turnovers, then dividing by games played.
*If a player did not make this list, we are not saying they did not improve from last year to this year. You need opportunity and playing time. A player needs minutes if you want to put up solid EFF.
