Method & data
Coverage and age groups
The snapshot includes 46 BLNO Men and 17 BLNO Women regular-season games through 8 November 2026. U23 means born in 2004 or later, using age on 31 December 2026. Every team game and every player with recorded minutes is included. The league totals pool player counts across games.
Metrics and denominators
Finishing actions are estimated as field-goal attempts + 0.44 × free-throw attempts + turnovers. Assists are the official box-score totals. The age-group shares divide by the full team total. Each U23 player’s shares divide by the club’s U23 total for that measure. The finishing estimate describes offensive responsibility over the whole game.
Validation and interpretation
Player points reconcile with the official scores in all 63 games. Minutes are used as recorded, including the six team records with a difference of more than 60 seconds from the expected total. Clubs played different numbers of games, so read each percentage with its sample size. Shares describe recorded usage and creation. Film is needed to assess the role or quality of individual actions.
