Attention against platform size
PIPN is a player's attention percentile minus her social-reach percentile. Positive means the league discusses her more than her following would predict. It says nothing about how she plays.

COVERAGEPIPN available for 93 of 228 players. The other 135 have no social handle on file, so there is no honest comparison to make — they are not ranked last, they are not ranked. This board is short by design.

Reading these numbers. Share of the WNBA conversation, normalised so 100 is average. Attention, not performance. Attention measured against social following. Positive means she draws more discussion than her platform predicts.Scores are computed once a week from the previous seven days and never change mid-week. “Not available” means no social handle is on file, so PIPN cannot be computed — it is not a zero.
