Archetypes

NOTE: Archetypes are generated based on player potential (Potential Index).

πŸ”₯ Volume Scorer
  • Player Index (PLI) β€” 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 Index (POI) β€” A measure of how high a player's PLI can be: the player's projected PLI ceiling if they continue their current trajectory next season. Same 0–100 scale and grade thresholds as PLI; shown only for players under 25. POI blends the legacy formula (45%) with the Performance Potential Score / PPS from per-100 stats (55%).

Season badges

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

Score thresholds for each grade (PLI and POI share the same 0–100 scale):
