How to read the scores: every score is out of 10 (higher is better). Position scores tell you how well the shoe suits that role; Value folds in price.
Overall score
9.3/10
All-round performance
Weighted blend of the five lab categories: traction 28%, cushion 22%, support 20%, fit 15%, materials 15%. Ignores price and who wears it.
Guard score
8.5/10
Fit for a guard's game
Traction (38%) and fit (22%) weighted heaviest for quick cuts and stops, then cushion, support, materials. Gets a small boost when NBA guards actually log minutes in it.
Forward score
8.6/10
Fit for a forward's game
Balanced: traction 24%, cushion 24%, support 22%, fit 18%, materials 12%. Gets a small boost from real NBA forward minutes.
Center score
8.8/10
Fit for a big's game
Cushion (34%) and support (32%) weighted heaviest for impact protection, then fit, traction, materials. Gets a boost from real NBA center minutes.
Value score
8.3/10
Performance for the price
60% overall performance + 40% price efficiency (the cheaper it is vs. the rest of the catalog, the higher this part). Not simply performance ÷ price.

NBA / player usage
