Efficiency Stats

Hey, I dont know much about "advanced stats" So I was wondering if I could get some help:

1) Which site would be best used to find out about efficiency ?

I went to basketball reference and they have the yearly rankings, but can I see the rankings for each specific year ?

http://www.basketball-reference.com/lea ... early.html

I checked on ESPN, but after 50 players it goes to insider

2) Also I checked 82games, and they have something called "Roland Rating", is that as good as PER ?

http://www.82games.com/0809/ROLRTG8.HTM

3) Lastly, where can I get info about "true shooting%" I always see that mentioned here but can't find it.

Thanks!

read the entire basketball reference glossary first.

then use that and:
basketballvalue.com
82games.com

look up wage of wins...

then there's a couple others like WARP, but read the articles on basketball reference and 82 games first.
