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?

You can't measure passing abilities by just looking at the number of assists, you have to actually watch the game. Their teammates could just be ass. You're not going to rack up the numbers if your teammates aren't knocking down open looks

Passing abilities are 100% eye test

Tyus Jones. Dude doesn’t play enough minutes to rack up gaudy numbers but he is one of the most elite passers in basketball. Extremely smart with the ball in his hands.

it doesn't say to measure it. It says to create a minimally accepted number

That's literally measuring
