The gap between paper talent and real production is fit, and it is the truth.
Sum the roster and you get raw talent. The Team KR is what they produce together, and the gap is fit. A full read: the KaNeXT Ballers.
The roster sums to 86.4 and produces 90.6, a +4.2 lift, because the hub-plus-spacing construction fits. Build the same talent wrong and the math runs the other way, below the paper number. That gap is the read no list of ratings can give.

No one names the system. Offense and defense are inferred from the team's own play data, then graded for fit, demand by demand. Same KaNeXT Ballers read.
Offense and defense both grade as built for this, and the one soft spot, half-court creation against length, is named, not buried. Not just a fit score, a coverage map.

The read spans the team's range, floor to ceiling, with structural fragility checks underneath. For a dominant team the variance is margin. For a fragile one, a single flag names what breaks it.
The KaNeXT Ballers' floor sits at 87.5, so its variance is schedule and matchup, not collapse. Now the same checks on a composite team the record calls fine:
That team can be winning and still built on a fault line. The record says fine; the read says one injury from falling apart. Naming that before it happens is the point of reading the team, not just rating it.
KaNeXT Ballers variance from the KaNeXT eval. The fragility contrast is an illustrative composite on the real Fragility Flags structure.
A team is not five ratings, it is what the five become together.
