Archetypes

🎭 Playmaker ⚖️ Two-Way 💪 Rebounder 🔒 Lockdown
  • Franchise Rating (FR) — A measure of how valuable a player is to a franchise given the player's contract value, production, availability, and overall impact both in the regular season and postseason. Scored 0–100, graded D- to S+.
  • Potential Rating (POT) — A measure of how high a player's FR can be: the projected FR ceiling if they continue their current trajectory next season. Same 0–100 scale and grade thresholds as FR; shown only for players under 25. POT blends the legacy formula (45%) with the Performance Potential Score / PPS from per-100 stats (55%).

Season Badges

  • Peak — Career-high OVR season (only one per player, once decline from that peak is visible).
  • Prime — One of the three seasons in the player's best 3-year stretch by average OVR.
  • Lookout — A or better Potential Rating (POT) in the player’s second year (year_exp = 1).
  • #1 FR — Ranked #1 in the league in Franchise Rating that season.
  • #1 POT — Ranked #1 in the league in Potential Rating that season.
