If you consider a player "elite" at something whether its passing, shooting, rebounding, etc. what is the bare minimum they should be averaging statistical? (alien.top)

We throw around the word "elite" x or "elite" at y very often. But I do wonder when we say that what is the minimal this person should be averaging in such categories to be considered so. There are also other factors too, for example, Josh Hart is an elite rebounder given his height. He averaged between 7-8 boards last season at 6'5. But for a center to be an elite rebounder for me, they should average 10. What are some elite stats you consider to be elite at the bare minimum?

Freethrows: 90+%

That would mean only Nash, Curry, and Mark Price qualify for a career. That's ultra-elite.

I would say anything over 87% can be considered elite for FT%

I would say above 88% is elite for FTs. Hard to say ppl like Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, KD or Steve Nash weren't elite at FTs.
