Metrics Quick Reference
| COLUMN | WHAT IT MEANS |
|---|---|
| Win Value % | Prospect's Player Win Value as a percentile vs all 516 current pros. Higher = more pro-ready talent. Based on 32 skill ratings weighted by win correlation (R2=0.642). |
| Positional BSI | Position-specific Box Score Impact projection using PG/SG/SF/PF/C-tuned coefficients. Higher = better projected impact for that position group. Green (40+) = strong positional fit. Orange (20-40) = average. Red (<20) = weak for position. |
| Peak Win Model | Projected peak Win Model score. Estimates how good a prospect will be at their ceiling, based on estimated PA + position + development trajectory. |
| PA Est | Estimated Potential Ability (the game's hidden ceiling rating, 1-5 scale). Blended from Win Value trajectory analysis + Pro Potential scouting grade. 4.0+ = star upside, 3.0+ = solid starter. |
| Div | Peak Win Model vs PA divergence. ▲ = win model ranks skills higher than PA suggests (often bigs). ▼ = PA sees more ceiling than skills project (often guards — potential development bet). Double arrows = strong divergence (≥15%). |
| Mock | Average mock draft position across JD.Net, HP, and JSPN. Predicts where a player will be drafted, not how good they'll be. |
| Bal WV | Win Value adjusted for Balanced offensive philosophy (Denver HC Carson Killingsworth). Applies empirically-derived multipliers to each skill coefficient based on how that skill correlates with Balanced system proficiency. |

Picks 6-10 have a 96.4% chance of producing a Star (CA 4.0+) and a 100.0% chance of producing a starter-caliber player.
Median outcome: CA 4.5 across 55 historical veterans.
Trading up (to 1-3): avg CA gain = +0.14
Trading down (to 11-20): avg CA loss = -0.28
Value curve is flat in 6-20 range -- trading down costs little in expected value while gaining additional assets.
