Definitions. Game ARC is the number of points a player added to his team’s margin relative to an average player in the same possessions, split into four channels: shot value on offense (SV off) and on defense (SV def), and possession value from possessions created (PV gen) and possessions kept (PV ret). The rating places a game on a fixed 0–10 scale, on which 6.6 is a typical game. Ratings are final once published. Players with very few minutes are not rated. What is ARC?
