Each strip is 5 × the possession-weighted mean VPM of the players currently listed on that roster (pts / 100 poss). Traded players carry all their possessions to their current team.
About
VPM is databallr's WNBA player impact in points per 100 possessions: a single-season prior-centred ridge over 2026 lineups, where each factor's prior is a public box-score model trained only on 2022–2025. Offense + defense = VPM; defense is positive-good.
Offense and defense each split exactly into four factors — eFG (rim + mid + three shot value), FT, TOV (turnover value, positive = fewer / cheaper turnovers), and 2nd chance. The eFG zones module is the rim / mid / three drill-down of the eFG bar.
This is the box-only lane. No tracking-data priors are used, so missing tracking games do not affect it.

33.8% FG%frequency beside each zone is its share of FGA + 0.44 × FTA · volume is attempts per 100 of the player’s own on-floor offensive possessions · the league column pools that same ratio over every player, i.e. team attempts per 100 divided by five · bar length is the gap to league on one shared axis per row type — volume rows are comparable to each other, efficiency rows to each other — scaled to the 5th–95th percentile gap that season
