AI SPORTSANALYTICSPred1x caps the night at 6.4 while the reference hands Simonović an 8.5 — the gap is the story.

BC Roma's 92-87 win over Panevėžio Lietkabelis produced no star on our scale: Erik Stevenson and Marko Simonović share the top Pred1x Grade at 6.4, and nobody on either side cleared it. The reference rating told a richer story, lifting Simonović to 8.5 and Nico Mannion to 8.0 on the strength of their 21-point nights.
Our numbers read it differently. Mannion's 21 points came with a 0.0 defense component and just four rebounds; Simonović's 0.202 defense drags his raw mark to 0.482. Stevenson, by contrast, pairs 11 points and six rebounds with a perfect 1.0 defense score — box-score modest, index-efficient, and top of the sheet.
The widest split belongs to Mezzanotte: three points, zero rebounds, zero assists in 15.6 minutes earn him a 3.7 against a 6.1 reference. Keondre Kennedy's 15 points with one rebound (5.0 vs 7.2) follows the same logic — volume scoring alone doesn't move our needle.
