Our team ADJeff (Adjusted Efficiency) rating primarily measures the talent of returning players. It does not account for factors such as coaching, team fit, continuity, spacing, etc. While it serves as a crucial guidepost for evaluating experienced and proven talent— which is the primary component of the rankings— coaching, fit, and other factors are also considered. This is why these rankings are not solely based on ADJeff.
