The Pred1x Grade reads Virtus Bologna's 96-94 escape as a photo finish, not a showcase: Marcus Joshua Carr tops the index at 6.8, with Mbaye Ndiaye and Aliou Diarra right behind at 6.7 — a tenth of a point separating the top three.

Reference rating shown for comparison only; the Pred1x Grade is our own index.

That's where we part ways with the reference rating. Carr's 22 points and 10 assists produce a perfect 1.0 playmaking score, but 3 rebounds, a 0.0 defensive component and 24.4 minutes keep him at 6.8 — nowhere near the 9.5 he's handed elsewhere. Ndiaye's 23 points earn a reference 9.4; our 6.7 weighs his zero assists and 20 minutes against 0.9 rebounding and 0.6 defense.

Diarra may be the index's real co-headliner: 18 points, 14 rebounds and a perfect 1.0 rebounding score against a reference 8.3. And Vezenkov's 20 points draw a 7.9 reference but just 6.0 from us, dragged down by 0.0 playmaking and 0.225 defense. On our read, this win was a collective effort wearing Carr's mask.
