C-ARC

College Adjusted Regularized Contribution. Points per 100 possessions above an average eligible Division-I player, blending production and on-court impact.

Box+

Opponent-adjusted production: scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, blocks and turnovers, weighted by the strength of opponents faced. Shown here as its contribution to C-ARC.

oBox+

Offensive share of Box+: scoring value, assists, offensive rebounds, turnover cost, and opponent-defense adjustment. Scaled so oBox+ + dBox+ equals the displayed Box+ contribution.

dBox+

Defensive box/event share of Box+: steals, blocks, defensive rebounds, and opponent-offense adjustment. This is defensive box production, not full defensive impact.

Impact

Regularized Adjusted Plus-Minus (RAPM): how much better his team performed per 100 when he was on the floor, adjusted for teammates and opponents. Shown here as its contribution to C-ARC.

Opp

Opponent strength: the average adjusted net rating of opponents a player actually shared the floor with. 0 is an average Division-I team; +10 is a brutal schedule, a negative number a soft one.

Tier

A quality band by C-ARC, shown by the colour of the C-ARC number: Tier 1 (≥ 10, elite / All-American) is strongest, stepping down through fringe All-American, All-Conference, and quality starter.

Percentile

Rank on that stat among every eligible player that season (≥500 minutes), computed over the full pool and fixed regardless of filters.

Season

The player-season artifact. All view stacks seasons, so the same player can appear multiple times across years.
