1. Player profiles include bio, position, height/weight, wingspan, birthplace, and dominant hand.

2. Roles: primary ball-handler, 3-and-D wing, stretch big, rim protector, slasher, connector.

3. Offensive tools: handle, first step, finishing package, shooting range, passing reads.

4. Defensive tools: lateral quickness, strength, length, screen navigation, rim contests.

5. Lineup fit: spacing gravity, on-ball vs off-ball usage, connector value, switchability.

6. Development arcs: prospect → rotation → starter → star; track year-over-year skill growth.

7. Health history: availability, recovery timelines, minutes ramp-ups post-injury.

8. Play types: PnR handler/roller, isolation, post-ups, cuts, putbacks, handoffs.

9. Specialties: clutch shotmaking, foul drawing, point-of-attack defense, short-roll passing.

10. Intangibles: motor, communication, leadership, adaptability to different schemes.

1. Age curves: most guards peak ~24–28; bigs can sustain peak impact slightly longer.

2. Wingspan and standing reach correlate with defensive playmaking and finishing.

3. Free-throw % is a decent proxy for shooting touch when 3PT sample is small.

4. Usage rate doesn’t equal efficiency—pair with TS%/EPM/BPM for context.

5. On/Off data is lineup-dependent; check role and teammate context.

6. Rim attempts + FT rate predict sustainable scoring better than long twos.

7. Defensive impact often shows in opponent shot profile + contest rate, not just steals/blocks.

8. Playmaking gravity shows up in potential assists, secondary assists, and advantage creation.

9. Year-2 leap is common for guards/wings with stable roles and reps.

10. Positional size unlocks scheme flexibility and closing lineup options.

1. Shoes by play style: burst/traction models for guards; cushioning/support for bigs.

2. Ankle braces & finger tape for common sprain/jam protection.

3. Compression sleeves/shorts to manage soreness and recovery.

4. Smart shot trackers and wearables for volume, arc, and workload monitoring.

5. Resistance bands, cones, and agility ladders for footwork drills.

6. Portable ball return nets for solo shooting reps.

7. Massage guns/ice sleeves for post-game recovery routines.

8. Hydration packs/electrolytes tailored to arena heat travel.

9. Custom mouthguards: fit, breathing, and speech clarity.

10. Court grip pads/mops to maintain traction during games.

1. Advantage creation: paint touches → collapse → kick-outs → secondary drives.

2. PnR reads: drop = pull-up/pocket pass; switch = slip/mismatch hunt; blitz = short-roll dime.

3. Off-ball value: relocation, screening, and cutting amplify star hubs.

4. Defensive scalability: switching + low foul rate travels across schemes.

5. Shooting development: FT%, touch shots, and repeatable base predict range growth.

6. Strength vs. speed: role optimization beats “position” labels in modern lineups.

7. Rebounding to offense: push-dribble bigs and hit-ahead guards accelerate pace.

8. Late-clock craft: counters like snake dribbles, hostage dribbles, and veer finishes.

9. Foul economy: draw fouls without offensive fouls; verticality on contests.

10. Playoff translation: decision speed and physicality tolerance separate tiers.

1. Many early greats played without a 3-point line—context matters for scoring lists.

2. Wingspan outliers often lead steal/block rates despite average standing height.

3. “Positionless” isn’t new—hybrids existed in every era with different labels.

4. The Eurostep popularization reshaped foul-drawing and angles at the rim.

5. Breakaway rims reduced wrist injuries and shattered glass episodes.

6. The shot clock (’50s) and 3PT (’79) radically changed guard archetypes.

7. Some elite passers post modest assist totals in motion offenses—system effect.

8. Load-management debates date back to minutes spikes in past dynasties.

9. Hand-checking rule changes boosted perimeter creation and spacing value.

10. Plus-minus stats existed informally long before public tracking data.
