Basketball. Analytics. Development.
We don't run basketball camps. We run development systems — combining elite training, psychology-backed accountability, and data analytics that measure every player's growth.
" PYM IS NOT JUST A SPORTS PROGRAM. IT IS A STRUCTURED YOUTH DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM COMBINING BASKETBALL, ACCOUNTABILITY, LEADERSHIP, AND DATA ANALYTICS. "
Two sessions per week for ten weeks. Structured. Measured. Proven. Every player receives a PYM Shooter Rating before and after the program.
Every other camp runs drills. PYM runs a system. Here is what separates us.
We track, measure, and report on every player using our proprietary 12-metric Shooting Lab — real numbers, not opinions.
Founded by a licensed school counselor with a Psychology degree and 15+ years of coaching. We understand how young athletes develop mentally and physically.
Not pickup ball. PYM runs structured phases — Baseline, Development, Application, Performance — with benchmarks and measurable growth at every stage.
Our Profound STEM Basketball program fuses data literacy with sport — teaching students to analyze, interpret, and apply real performance data to their game.
Behavior tracking, leadership development, and scoring systems build discipline on and off the court. We develop character, not just skill.
Already running as a school enrichment program in Philadelphia schools — trusted by educators, coaches, and families since 2017.
The PYM Shooting Lab tracks every player across 10 court zones and 12 elite metrics. The result: the PYM Shooter Rating — a 0–100 composite score that tells every player, parent, and coach exactly where that player stands and what they need to improve.
No other youth program in Philadelphia puts a number this precise on player development.
The same 12-metric PYM Shooter Rating applied to the greatest players in NBA history. Career stats. Same benchmarks. Same formula. No adjustments for era — the system measures shooting the way it was designed to.
Only one player in history scores Elite. The formula exposes the difference between great scorers and great shooters — and the gap is wider than most people think.
| # | Player | eFG% | 3PT% | FT% | PYM Rating | Tier |

Career stats via Basketball-Reference · C&S/OTD splits estimated from career totals · Pre-3PT era players score 0 on all 3PT metrics — the formula does not adjust for era
The only player in history to hit the Elite tier. 42.2% career 3PT at volume, 91.2% FT, 58.2% eFG — every box checked. No one else is close.
Kareem at #19, Shaq at #20 — despite being arguably top-5 all time. Kareem's 55.7% eFG is elite, but he scores zero on all three 3PT metrics. They weren't shooters by PYM's definition. The system is honest about that.
73.5% FT is the only thing keeping him out of the top 3. His eFG% and volume are elite. The formula penalizes the line the same way PYM does with youth players — make your free throws.
48.2% eFG and 32.9% from three. The data is honest — Kobe was an elite scorer, not an elite shooter. PYM draws that line clearly.
32.7% from three and 50.8% eFG put him behind Bird and Harden. By PYM standards he's a Strong Shooter — phenomenal, but not an elite one. The greatest competitor ever. Not the greatest shooter.
The same 12-metric PYM Shooter Rating we use to evaluate youth players — built directly from the PYM Shooting Lab — applied to the best shooters in the NBA 2025–26 season. No opinions. The same formula, the same benchmarks, the same composite score.
eFG% at 55% carries 20% of the score — the single biggest driver. C&S 3PT% at 41% adds 10%. FT% at 88% adds 8%. Off-the-dribble efficiency, midrange splits, and versatility fill the rest. The formula does not care about reputation. It measures production against elite benchmarks.

His 43.7% from three is the best among high-volume qualifiers this season. PYM's formula rewards perimeter shooting efficiency hard — that's by design. A pure shooter by every metric the system values.
39 games played this season. His shooting metrics alone rank top 3. The attendance component and improvement baseline pull him down — the formula penalizes availability just like PYM does in camp.
Highest eFG% on the entire list at 60.7%. But 34.4% from three drags the composite down. Elite finisher — not yet an elite shooter by PYM standards. The formula separates the two.
Every award is backed by real data from the PYM Shooting Lab. No participation trophies. No opinions. Pure numbers — earned on the court.
