It returns 62% of last season's minutes, about the same as teams ranked near it (69%). The projection leans most on Tommy Kamarad (+0.5), Seifeldin Hendawy (+0.0) and Tai Hamilton (+0.0); the newcomer who matters most is Keshawn Fisher, a transfer from Detroit Mercy, at -0.1. Its 80% range, -8.0 to +6.6, is about as wide as that of teams ranked near it.

A player's rating is points per 100 possessions better than an average Division I player while he is on the floor. Contribution weights it by the share of a rotation slot he is projected to play, so a star on the bench and a role player who never sits both read right. Rank is among all 5,249 rated players. MPG is the projected share of a rotation slot times 40. "From" is last season's team. The bars are contribution, the player's rating times his projected share; their sum is the roll-up the projection starts from.
