Why we have them here

Richmond's preseason projection of +1.8 (No. 136 of 365) starts from the roster: its players' ratings, weighted by projected minutes, add up to a roll-up worth +1.9, more than the +1.0 typical of teams ranked near it. Last season's rating (No. 173 at the end of 2025-26) adds +0.1, about its neighbours' +0.2; the program's level two and three seasons back and the roster's experience and shape add -0.4. It returns 36% of last season's minutes, less than teams ranked near it (50%). The projection leans most on Aiden Argabright (+2.8), Jamie Kaiser Jr. (+1.9) and Derin Saran (+1.1); the newcomer who matters most is Jamie Kaiser Jr., a transfer from Butler, at +1.9. Its 80% range, -5.5 to +9.2, is about as wide as that of teams ranked near it.

A player's rating is points per 100 possessions better than an average Division I player while he is on the floor. Contribution weights it by the share of a rotation slot he is projected to play, so a star on the bench and a role player who never sits both read right. Rank is among all 5,249 rated players. MPG is the projected share of a rotation slot times 40. "From" is last season's team. The bars are contribution, the player's rating times his projected share; their sum is the roll-up the projection starts from.
