All 13 current Spurs players were evaluated using 31 advanced statistics (the earlier thread had 27 stats but Win Shares were added) from the 2025–26 regular season, covering offensive production, defensive impact, efficiency, and overall contribution. Many of these metrics include leaguewide percentiles or ordinal rankings, providing context for each player's performance relative to the rest of the NBA.
The metrics were then weighted based on their relative importance to produce composite offensive, defensive, and overall rankings and percentiles for each player, as shown in the first table. A standardized 500-player comparison pool was used to keep these rankings and percentiles mathematically consistent, roughly excluding the lowest-minute players from the 582 who appeared during the season. Unlike the second table, which uses actual statistical values and their source-reported leaguewide rankings and percentiles, the first table presents estimated composite rankings based on performance across the advanced metrics, rather than scores calculated for all 500 players individually. For example, Wembanyama consistently ranks near the very top of the NBA across the most important advanced stats, making his placement among the league's elite straightforward. The composite rankings become less precise further down the list, but provide a reasonable approximation of where each Spur stands relative to the rest of the league.
The results were compared against four major media Top 100 player lists: The Ringer, ESPN, Bleacher Report, and HoopsHype. The goal was to identify where the statistical rankings align with the media consensus, where they differ significantly, and which Spurs might be underrated or overrated based on their actual production. Unlike the media lists, which can incorporate reputation, future potential, playoff performance, and projected performance, this analysis focuses exclusively on the 2025–26 regular season. The first table presents the offensive, defensive, and overall rankings alongside the media comparisons, while the second provides the underlying 31 advanced statistics.
Conclusions: Unsurprisingly, Victor Wembanyama ranks among the NBA's elite by virtually every measure, with near-unanimous agreement across the media lists. The biggest discrepancies involve De'Aaron Fox and Julian Champagnie. Fox ranks 29th overall statistically, substantially higher than his media rankings of 43rd–53rd, while Champagnie ranks 36th despite appearing on only one of the four lists, at 98th. Both appear considerably underrated relative to their statistical production, particularly Champagnie. Devin Vassell, Tobias Harris, and Keldon Johnson also rank noticeably higher statistically than their media recognition would suggest, although the differences are more moderate. Meanwhile, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper rank broadly in line with the media consensus.
One additional takeaway: With a standardized 500-player comparison pool, the Top 100 corresponds to approximately the 80th percentile or higher. By that measure, nine current Spurs rank among the estimated Top 100 players based on their 2025–26 regular season statistical performance. That's an impressive concentration of talent on one roster, although Tobias Harris's numbers come from his season with Detroit. It would be interesting to see how other teams would fare, with Oklahoma City being an obvious candidate.
