This version uses Taylormetrics’ Wyman Diagram and Justin Liu’s model and packer. Size is DPM above a −2.0 replacement level to the power 2.2, times minutes per game. Outlines are an estimate: they predict the hand-drawn originals only weakly, so read them as a lean, not a stat. Playoff-adjusted moves each player by his career playoff offense change and playability.
