Usage / Kill Share (vs Evollve % Tm Pts Plyd)
Kill share (our label) =
Player kills ÷ Team kills
It answers: how much of this team’s termination load does she carry? Optional cousin: attack share = player TA ÷ team TA (same idea on swings).
We publish kill share on the Daily Desk for attack-qualified players. It is computed from ncaa.com counting stats after joining player ↔ team tables.
Why usage matters next to Hit%
A .400 middle on 40 swings and a .180 outside on 350 swings tell different offense stories. Kill share highlights the engine role even when Hit% looks ordinary — and cools overrating tiny-sample efficiency.

From the desk snapshot (early season — provisional):
| Player | Team | Kill share | Hit% | Kills (snapshot) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jurnee Robinson | LSU | ~42% | .251 | 117 |
| Sylvie Zgonc | South Dakota St. | ~40% | .375 | 131 |
| Leilani Lawrence | Old Dominion | ~39% | .210 | 109 |
High kill share + modest Hit% can still mean “the offense runs through her.” High Hit% + low share often means a complementary terminator.
Critical distinction: not Evollve % Tm Pts Plyd
| Kill share (ours) | % Tm Pts Plyd (Evollve) | |
|---|---|---|
| Measures | Share of team kills | Share of team points she was on the court for |
| Needs | Box counting stats | Point-level lineup tracking |
| Says | Usage as a terminator | Playing-time / trust / ironwoman signal |
| We publish numbers? | Yes (computed) | No — cite Evollve only |
Calling kill share “% team points played” would be wrong. For RAPM, % Tm Pts Plyd, and SOS-adjusted rates, read Evollve RAPM & advanced stats and link out to evollve.net.
Caveats
- Early season: team kill denominators are small
- Liberos/setters can be foundational with near-zero kill share — that is expected
- Not a gambling metric; teaching site only
