What the columns mean and how to read them

▶

Every trait shows the metric behind it and its league rank, where first is best, so a weakness is a specific measured thing rather than an impression. The Fits view deliberately excludes stars — the useful answer to a roster hole is a player who could actually be acquired, not the best player in the league at that skill.

Projected — current roster × last-season stats, so it reflects offseason moves (updates as deals land).

About the NBA Front Office board

An in-depth team profile: offense, rebounding and defense traits plus defensive playtype tendencies, each ranked against the league, and then the players who would realistically fill the gaps that profile exposes.

How to read it

Where the numbers come from

Current regular-season team and playtype data, expressed as league-relative ranks. Fits are matched by comparing a team’s ranked weaknesses against players whose production profile addresses them.

Who it's for

For roster and team-construction research — reading a team as a set of strengths and holes rather than a record.

What the NBA stats mean

GP / MPGGames played and minutes per game.

REB CHCRebound chances — rebounds that were actually available to a player, not just the ones he grabbed. Useful for separating opportunity from result.

POT ASTPotential assists — passes that would have been assists if the shot had gone in. Measures playmaking without punishing a teammate’s miss.

USG%Usage rate — share of the team’s possessions a player uses while on the floor.

TS%True shooting percentage — scoring efficiency that accounts for two-pointers, three-pointers and free throws together.

ORtg / DRtgPoints produced and points allowed per 100 possessions.

NetRtgOffensive rating minus defensive rating.

DvPDefense vs Position — how much a defense gives up to opponents at one position, rather than overall. A team can defend well overall and still be the place guards go to score.

Allowed / Percentile / AdjustedThree ways to read the same defensive cell. Allowed is the raw per-game number. Percentile ranks it 0 to 100 across the league, where higher means an easier matchup. Adjusted shows how much better or worse players do against that defense than they normally do.

PPPPoints per possession on a given play type — how efficiently a player finishes that action.
