DRIP is a projection of a player’s contribution to a team’s plus/minus per 100 possessions. All metrics above are NBA player projections calculated by our DRIP model, except for minutes. DELTA measures a player’s increase/decrease in DRIP from the beginning of the season until the end. Box position attempts to give a more accurate depiction of a player’s position, with 1 being a true point guard and 100 representing a traditional center.

How our projection model works: It incorporates each team’s TRACR, win-loss record and strength of schedule throughout the season to date and our supercomputer simulates the remaining schedule to produce our season-long NBA predictions. TRACR normalizes performance from league environmental factors that can either inflate or deflate numbers.
