NBA Numbers Crunch: 2023 Preseason

[BabaYaga]

With the NBA season getting ready to tip-off tomorrow, I wanted to run down NBA rosters and look at some interesting tidbits to see how rosters across the league are constructed. This isn't going to be hard hitting analysis but rather some numbers that might be interesting about how rosters are constructed. This will include two-way players and G-League rostered members as well so understand that some of the numbers could be skewed in terms of years of experience. This does not include players in the ISL, on waivers, or in the free agent pool.
