FactDerivedAssumption
What this does NOT prove
- Percentiles compare inside the NBA. Outside it they do not mean the same thing.
- It portrays the 2025-26 season, already closed. It is not what comes next.
- There is no movement or touch data: what we do not measure does not appear, and is not replaced by something else.
