Block stats should be subdivided into blocks that change possession vs. don't

In football a PD (pass defensed) doesn't always change possession either.

It rarely does, not sure your point.

Its a similar type of play and isn't exclusive to basketball. A block is a block

No that would be a pass deflection in basketball.

Nah. Pass deflection in basketball isn't equivalent enough (Less impact).

It is literally the same thing. You'll notice both are called pass deflections.

The best equivalent is a forced fumble, but football tracks who recovers it

Considering there are any 7 times as many possessions in basketball, I don't

Sure, I wasn’t making a 1:1 comparison and I just said best equivalent

A block is a block, and giving the other team a subsequent offensive rebound is

I think it’s useful in evaluating the usefulness of the block

PHXSUNS31

There's so few blocks, and such a high percentage of that is luck, that I don't

I don't agree. The rebound stats accounts for the possession

cougaman

I'd rather see turnovers subdivided between live turnovers and dead ball.

I’d also count assists that lead to free throws(as long as they make them)

PHXSUNS31

This is the most important change. Imagine how many Stockton would have had.

I bet the free throw assists would especially help. Adding .5 for 3s would help

About 10yrs ago the NBA had statisticians enter this for a season
