2021-22 NBA player ratings: shooting, finishing, playmaking, defense

Ratings from 0 to 100, computed from data over four seasons, never by hand: scoring, shooting, finishing, playmaking, ball security, rebounding, defense, durability, experience. OV weights them by position. No potential rating: we only rate what the player has shown.

Regulars only

How it's calculated

Like the NHL and MLB ratings: four weighted seasons (50%, 25%, 15%, 10%), a prior toward the group average, the percentile rank among regulars, then the rating (50th percentile → 75, 90th → 87, 99.5th → 97). Neither PAL nor WAR enters OV. A validation bench checks every season that OV stays consistent with PAL, WAR and BPM.
