Ask the engine

Ask a stats question. Get the real numbers.

Type a question about any NBA player’s stats — per game or totals, one season or a stretch — and the answer comes straight from our database, split by season, with the fantasy read attached.

Stats sites give you the number. We tell you what it's worth.

The Ask engine reads your question, turns it into a database query, and answers from our own season-level NBA data — 30 seasons, back to 1996-97 — per-season rows, the GP-weighted average, totals when you ask for totals. Nothing is generated by a language model: one only helps parse unusual phrasings, so the numbers can't be made up.

Then comes the part a stats site won't give you: where that production lands on our 9-cat projection board. A 29.8-points-per-game answer arrives with the player's rank and draft round, one click from his full profile and projection.

What it can answer today

  • Averages and totals over any window: career, the last N seasons, or a specific season.
  • Any core category — points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, threes, turnovers, FG% and FT%, minutes, games.
  • Fantasy rank and value — “Giannis fantasy ranking over his career” gets his per-season rank on our G-score board, the layer a stats site can't give you. Punt lenses too: “his rank if I punt FT%” re-runs the board with that category zeroed.
  • The category breakdown — “LeBron category values over his career” splits his fantasy value across all nine cats per season: where it comes from, what drags.
  • Full stat lines when you don't name a category, and two-player comparisons.
  • Not yet: game logs, league-wide leaders, and pre-1997 history. If it can't answer, it says so honestly.
