Index Glossary
- Player Index (PLI) — 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) — 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 — 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 Index (POI) in the player’s second year (year_exp = 1).
- #1 PLI — Ranked #1 in the league in Player Index that season.
- #1 POI — Ranked #1 in the league in Potential Index that season.
