What It Is
Versatility Index attempts to quantify how many facets of the game a player contributes to — scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, and blocks — producing a score that rewards breadth of contribution. A player who scores, rebounds, assists, and defends at above-average levels scores higher than a specialist.
APEX Rationale
Not used in APEX as a standalone metric. The concept of rewarding multi-dimensional contribution is embedded in APEX's pillar structure itself — a player who scores well, defends, and playmakers will score well across multiple pillars. APEX does not additionally reward versatility separately because the multi-pillar architecture already captures it.
