At least 1.0 BLK/game. The middle group has some FT cost, not a neutral contribution. Bands are category-pair guides, not overall player grades or instructions to punt.

Little / no FT cost: 9

Highest volume: Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren, Matas Buzelis, Jaren Jackson Jr., Kristaps Porziņģis.

Some FT cost: 18

Highest volume: Alex Sarr, Zach Edey, Khaman Maluach, Anthony Davis, Donovan Clingan.

Larger FT cost: 5

Highest volume: Walker Kessler, Evan Mobley, Rudy Gobert, Nic Claxton, G. Antetokounmpo.

Pool, baseline and limitations

Pool: up to 180 players from the published player universe, ranked by DeepVision’s 9-cat total value for the selected range, with no punts or ADP. Changing ranges recalculates the cohort, baselines and groups. Total value reflects games played or projected; the chart shows per-game stats. Players without ranked stats are omitted, not filled with another range. 180 of 180 ranked players have usable chart stats.

Recent-game windows are each player’s last recorded appearances, not the same dates or minutes. Small samples can move sharply. Group boundaries are reading guides, not roster recommendations or a team win-rate test.

Opening or refreshing reads the latest stored data. These charts are not images, but an already-open page does not automatically poll. Use Refresh data to load a newly published projection release or completed stat sync.
