The Player Projector uses historical NBA aging curves to estimate how a player's stats will change over the next 1-5 years. Young players on the rise see modest improvements, while players entering their mid-30s face steeper declines in speed-dependent stats like scoring and steals.
The aging curves are based on analysis of thousands of NBA careers. Scoring peaks around age 27, assists peak around 30 (experience helps), and defensive stats decline most sharply after 28. Shooting percentages remain relatively stable through the early 30s before declining.
These are statistical estimates based on average aging patterns. Individual players may deviate significantly due to injuries, role changes, team changes, or exceptional conditioning. Use them as directional guidance, not precise predictions.
No, the model assumes a healthy player following a typical career arc. Players with significant injury histories may decline faster than projected.
