Overview

Developing a revenue-share cap strategy based on pro data.

A tool mapping pro compensation based on production to NCAA revenue-share, intended to kickstart discussion on resource allocation.

Metric Definitions
BPM (Box Plus/Minus)
Estimates a player's contribution per 100 possessions relative to league average (0.0). Used as the primary metric for NBA and NCAA MBB.
WS/40 (Win Shares per 40 Minutes)
Estimates wins contributed per 40 minutes played. Normalizes for playing time. Used as the primary metric for WNBA and NCAA WBB.
Value = BPM / AAV
For pro leagues, value divides the performance metric by average annual value (cap hit in $M). Higher value = more production per dollar. NCAA players have no AAV — raw BPM is used directly.
Position Groups
G
Guard

F

Versatile players who can score, rebound, and defend, using a mix of size, strength, and agility to play both inside near the basket and on the perimeter. Players listed as Small Forwards or Power Forwards are in this group.
