HEAD TO HEAD
Two players on the same eleven metrics. The rail under each one is a percentile against every player with at least 10 games this season, and it is flipped for the metrics where lower is better — so a longer rail always means the better player, and the raw numbers stay on either side so nothing is hidden to make the chart tidier.

Salary comes from the contracts export, which lists next season's roster while the stats cover this season — so a player signed elsewhere still carries this season's production. Full cap sheet →
