Only one of those requires a significant amount of explanation: PRPG!, which used to be called the hilarious PORPAGATU but now is the shortened version. Essentially, this is a one-stop stat (mostly driven by offense) that functions as Points over Replacement Per Game. It’s not perfect, but it gives you a great way of seeing the most valuable offensive player on each team.
