2000 Roster

Counting stats use played regular-season games. PM and RAPM use their separate model samples; PM GP shows that sample's game count.

† PM GP above GP: that plus/minus sample is the player's whole season in the league (every team, and playoff games where the run has them), not this team's games alone.

legacy: 2000 has no current published run; its RAPM and plus/minus come from the legacy run (an earlier model generation, not verified).

Estimated Minutes by Position

Estimated from roster positions and box-score rates; an unlisted position is inferred from those rates, and missing rates are treated as zero. Legend numbers are each player's share of recorded roster minutes, scaled to five players' regulation minutes; they can differ from minutes per game in the roster below, especially when players miss games or coverage is incomplete. Each position column totals one regulation game's minutes. Use the labels or legend to highlight a player's estimated role.
