[Roster Analysis]: NBA Depth Charts 2025-2026

Posted on by Eric Creighton

Quick Note: Well, I finally did it. Many times over the years I’ve gotten sick of trying to find (what I think are) clean and accurate projected depth charts prior to the start of the season, so I went ahead and created them myself with an assist from Uncle Chet (GPT). Turned out to be a fun exercise, and also a challenging one for some teams–see: Blazers, Kings and Raptors. I made the judgement call to eliminate most two-way players who won’t really have a chance of getting minutes, as well as highlighting long term injuries. As we all gear up for this season, these depth charts should be a helpful tool to wrap our heads around what’s happening and projecting team success. I considered making this a page on my site that I would tend to and update throughout the season. And I still may do that, but first, I have more to research.
