The statistical read
No league ranking without a qualified, same-season comparison sample. Per-36 rates describe production in the recorded role; they do not project starter minutes.

True shooting percentage, weighted by attempts
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.
