BenchStats breaks it down

The game is split into possessions and tagged automatically, and the stats are generated.

PossessionsAutomatic tagsTeam statsPlayer statsDefense stats
  • Check the numbers

    Look at team, player and defense stats without opening any film.

    Team and Player pages
  • Rewatch the game

    Jump straight to any possession, and skip free throws and stoppages.

    Games page
  • Find the why behind a stat

    Watch only the possessions behind a number, like every turnover against a zone.

    Any stat → its possessions

None of it is required. Use one, or all three.

Stats from your film

A full stat sheet from every game you upload.

Team, player and defensive stats come from the film itself, including how your team scored against each defense it faced.
