Who is included, and how are these numbers calculated?

Players with a recorded 2021 NBA draft year and positive-minute appearances in 2021-22. This is a draft class, not an official rookie-eligibility list: undrafted players and players drafted in other years are excluded.

The ranking uses all of each player’s recorded appearances in the selected first season and competition. Qualification requires at least one played game and an average above 10 minutes. Short appearances still count. PPG, RPG and APG are actual per-game averages; the three indexes average game-level Per48 scores with equal weight.

52 known class members have recorded appearances in this competition; 39 meet the displayed thresholds. The stored registry contains 55 players for this draft year and may not include every draftee. Missing draft years are not guessed.

Recorded competition coverage: 2021-10-19 to 2022-04-10. Individual player coverage can be shorter.
