Basis and coverage

Stats are summed across opposing players at the position, per recorded team game. Positions use roster labels or estimates, not the position a player defended on each possession. G and F buckets are separate from PG/SG and SF/PF. Unassigned players are omitted. Last five uses the same regular season as the main average.

These are historical results, not a projection. A rank describes the eligible teams on this table. Full method and league coverage.
