Does anyone know what accounts for the stat discrepancies between WIS databases and basketball reference? Total stats are often off by 1 or 2 here and there, percentage stats are often off substantially. What gives?

they figure ast% differently.
I'm not sure why they're off on every other advanced stat.

Reb%, blk%, stl% all seem to be significantly higher on bball ref...and for some of the older players even basic stats are significantly different. I think there must be a difference in how they're computing the percentages, but I guess the only thing that can explain the basic stats being off is different sources?

Because we all know that tinmanpb is the most intelligent man in the world, thus he probably adjusted the percentages, while ruining the game no less.

WIS does use a different source than basketball-reference.com
