Format
Nicknames work — Giannis, SGA, Wemby, KAT, Dame. Typos are usually forgiven. Everything runs on your device.
By category
Each bar is the sum of your players' z-scores in that category. Right of center is above the top-150 average; left is below.
That's a real strategy, not a mistake — but only if you commit to it. Stop spending roster spots on the category you have given up, and put everything into the ones you can win.

What the grade actually measures
Every player gets a z-score in each category — how many standard deviations above or below the top-150 average they are. Your roster's score in a category is the sum of its players' scores there, and the letter is the average across all categories.
Two details matter. Percentages are volume-weighted: a player shooting 100% on one attempt per game isn't an elite shooter, so the calculation uses impact — how far his percentage moves your team, given how often he shoots. And turnovers are inverted, so fewer is better and a positive number is always good news.
Reading the result
A balanced B team wins the categories it's good at and loses the ones it's not, which in head-to-head means most weeks come down to games played. That's fixable on the wire.
A team with one category far below the rest is a punt build, whether you planned it or not. Punting works, but only if you commit — half-punting is how rosters finish sixth in everything. If the tool names your punt, either lean into it or fix it, but don't sit in the middle.
Common questions
How do I know if I drafted a good team?
Look at categories, not player quality. Above average in six or seven is a good team. Slightly above average in all nine and dominant in none is not.
What's a good grade?
B is solid and competitive. A means you're ahead in most categories. Below C means you should pick two categories to actually win rather than spreading thin.
Does it know my league's settings?
It handles 9-cat and 8-cat. It doesn't read custom scoring weights — for that, connect your league to Ash in Discord.
