These results suggest that while basketball reflects strong-link sport characteristics, traditional metrics like VAL may not fully capture a player's contribution to team success. A more comprehensive approach-incorporating both offensive and defensive indicators-could offer a clearer evaluation of player impact. Future research should also explore psychological, tactical, and social factors to better understand individual roles in team performance
