Typical NBA averages are roughly 10-12 PPG, 4-5 RPG, and 2-3 APG for rotation players. Star players average 20+ PPG.

Worked Example

520 points, 180 rebounds, 120 assists in 25 games.

total_points = 520total_rebounds = 180total_assists = 120games_played = 25
  1. 01PPG = 520 / 25 = 20.8
  2. 02RPG = 180 / 25 = 7.2
  3. 03APG = 120 / 25 = 4.8
  4. 04Projected season points = 20.8 * 82 = 1706
