Roster Shapes
Every roster is a box to fill. Bigger shapes are better players, squarer shapes are easier to build around, and the white is what a perfect team would add.
Also known as Wyman Diagrams. Created by @taylormetrics on TikTok, where they became a viral trend.
Projected. Rosters, minutes per game and games come from the 2026-27 depth charts (contract book dated 2026-09-10). Each player is drawn from his 2025-26 DPM and style; nobody has played a 2026-27 minute yet.
2026-27, 30 rosters. The box is a +17.4 team.
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.
