  • Game time. Only 15% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
