While presenting the statistical results, Ms. Fujii said, "This way, we can see the gap between Hanamichi's current level and those players who have already entered the NBA through the draft and started playing."
Acting like a teacher, she had Mizuno drag a whiteboard over from somewhere beforehand, and she began writing, drawing, and explaining on it.
"Have you noticed that Hanamichi's regular-season stats actually haven't reached the 50th percentile of these players, but his playoff stats have improved significantly? Moreover, his stats in every game are much more stable than they were in the regular season. This indicates that the playoffs basically represent Hanamichi's steady level. This level has already reached the 65th percentile and above. Now that the playoffs have just begun, as long as Hanamichi maintains a stable performance, I believe that by the end of the season, this percentile can exceed 75, or even higher. Then we can apply to enter the draft!"
