I’m a dinosaur and only know OG stats. I’ve sorted hated these manufactured stats but am open to change. I understand conceptually what it is (more or less) but not how it’s calculated or how it’s not sorta arbitrary. I’m not convinced it’s better especially when they say AI is overrated. Dude was a beast.

And are there other new stats I need to learn?

ELI5 but also open to complexity.

It basically accounts for the "difficulty" of the shot by giving the player more credit for making a 3pt shot over a 2pt shot, and a 2pt shot over a free throw.
