League percentiles: 412 players with at least 20 games, 300 minutes and 100 field-goal attempts in 2025-26. Higher means more of the named statistic. Per-36 rates describe production in the recorded role; they do not project starter minutes.

How to read this profile
Percentiles compare this season’s qualified NBA players across all positions. Rebounding reflects opportunity as well as skill; assists depend on touches and teammates; shot volume does not measure gravity. True shooting uses aggregate points and attempts, with a 0.44 free-throw multiplier. Per-36 rates use recorded minutes, which may be rounded in historical NBA game logs.
NBA source record ↗Free-throw volume
39.9 FTA / 100 FGA places Ryan Kalkbrenner at the 88th percentile among all qualified players, across positions. Look for how the trips are earned: drives, post work, putbacks or intentional fouls.
Inspect the record ↓How much should you trust the jumper?
0.0% from three on 5 attempts. Fewer than 100 attempts leave plenty of room for the percentage to move. Watch the misses and the closeouts, too.
Inspect the record ↓Decisions under pressure
0.87 assists per turnover is a starting point. Rewatch possessions against traps and late-clock pressure; this ratio alone cannot tell you how difficult the passing job was.
