Price vs. productionheat 94

Jayson Tatum is paid like the 6th-highest cap hit tracked but ranks 166th of 178 in modeled production — is the money buying something the model can't see, or is this a genuine misprice?

Jayson Tatum carries a $54.1M cap hit (6th of 178 tracked) against $4.1M of modeled production (166th of 178) — a 160-spot gap between what he's paid and what he produces.

That reads as the price outrunning the box score, and rank alone can't separate a real overpay from context the model doesn't track — shot-creation gravity, defensive value the counting stats miss, locker-room command.

How you’d settle it

Compare Jayson Tatum's on/off-court impact and role against the players immediately around him in cap rank, and clip whichever comps make the gap look earned or unearned.

Take this into your notebook — clipping freezes the case, evidence and all, so you can build an argument around it.
