Career Production Index (CPI)

CPI estimates how much counting production a player created per game in a season using a transparent formula.

Why it matters

  • Career Resume needs one clear production axis for Peak, Prime, and Longevity.
  • Fans can recompute it from ordinary per-game stats.

How to interpret it

  • Higher CPI means more combined scoring, playmaking, rebounding, and defensive counting stats after turnovers.
  • Compare a player only to their own peak, not to the league board, inside Career Resume.

How DRBL uses it

  • Primary metric for Career Resume Peak / Prime / Longevity.
  • Shown as context in Rank My Seasons; it is never the ranking model itself.
  • True shooting is shown beside Peak for efficiency context and does not enter CPI.
