Limits
  • “Plays he finishes” = shots, free throws or turnovers while he is on the floor, weighted by his time: it says who ends possessions, not who creates them or how much the team gains with him.
  • It draws 5 of the 11 players still at the club with at least 250 regular-season minutes (the house's solid-sample threshold); 1 more are left out for a short sample.
  • The substitution clock covers 77 of the 82 games in 2025-26: minutes together are those games' minutes, not the whole season's.
  • The source only publishes units above 12 minutes; they cover 1,933 of the team's 3,975 minutes. What the shorter units played is not here.
  • Nobody publishes a duo's or a trio's performance: it comes from combining the units where both appear — weighting each one by the possessions it played, which is the unit the figure is written in — and therefore covers only those units.
  • "Clearing the threshold" is a convention of ours to avoid highlighting short samples — a fixed fraction of what a team accumulates in a season — not a statistical test: there is no confidence interval and no significance test behind it.
  • All of this describes what happened while they were on court. It does not say it happened BECAUSE of them: the opponent, the scoreline and whoever else was on the floor are in the result too.
  • The figures are from 2025-26. Today's roster is a different one: what a group did last year does not describe the current team.
  • Without a minute for the club in 2025-26: Aday Mara · Bennett Stirtz · Josh Dix · Otega Oweh · Thomas Sorber. There is nothing to measure for them here; whatever is known about them comes from elsewhere.
  • Of the 17 on the list, 4 are not backed by the roster source (Bennett Stirtz · Josh Dix · Otega Oweh · Thomas Sorber): they may still be at the club or not, and we do not claim it.
  • For this competition we know how many times each unit took the floor, but not how many times all the team's units did in total: that is why we cannot say what share of the game these data cover, only that they cover a part of it.
