Tips & strategy

• Start with broad identifiers: career length, games played, and minutes per game can immediately separate starters from role players or flag injury-shortened seasons.
• Look at scoring and 3-point volume together; a player with high 3PM and high FT% is likely a perimeter-focused guard or wing, while low 3PM points to a big man.
• Compare the player's peak years and late-career decline; a sudden drop in games or minutes per game often signals injuries or a reduced role.
• Use less common categories like steals, blocks, and turnovers to break ties between players with similar scoring lines.
• Pay attention to the stat trajectory across seasons: consistent improvement, a single outlier year, or an abrupt end can be a strong clue.
