Hoops: Some things I don't understand - Hulk01 - 01-30-2021

The four most important statistics in basketball:

Effective field goal percentage (field goals + 0.5 three point field goals/attempts divided by field goal attempts)
Offensive rebound percentage (offensive rebounds divided by missed shots)
Defensive rebound percentage (defensive rebounds divided by opponent's missed shots)
Turnover percentage (turnovers divided by total offensive possessions)

So why don't more sources publish these numbers,
rather than insisting on raw field goal percentage, number of offensive and defensive rebounds, a number of turnovers?
(Is it money?  That there's no money in going to the added effort of computing these numbers
based on the immediately available  raw numbers?)

And for women's basketball, is there a source that publishes these numbers?

That site rates us as #4 overall net.  And they don't include turnovers...

The answer to your question as to why you don't see these stats regularly,  might be that, while they are a better measure, they are too complex for the average fan.

That's for the women, which sounds right to me.

Men at #93, in large part due to a particularly poor ORtg. #201 in points/100 possessions.

Okay, that makes more sense.
