How a win gets a price

  1. $This season's salary for every rotation player we can match, from Basketball Reference's contract tables.
  2. WWins added: how much worse his team played without him last season, weighted by his minutes and turned into wins (2.7 a point of net rating).
  3. ÷The market rate is all the money divided by all the wins. Above it, a player is worth more than he costs.

More from our own data

What to keep in mind

  • Wins added come from on/off: how the team played with and without the player in 2025-26. On/off is noisy, so each figure is pulled toward zero by his minutes (x minutes / (minutes + 1000)). It measures the minutes, not the man.
  • A player who changed teams carries last season's on/off from his old team. Rookies and players under 300 minutes last season are not on the board.
  • Salaries are this season's cap figures from Basketball Reference; players we cannot match to a contract are left out.
  • The market rate is ours, not the league's: total salary over total positive wins among the players on this board.
