How these answers are judged

A player counts for a cell when they satisfy both the row team condition (at least one regular-season game for that franchise) and the column condition in the same career — season-stat columns require the threshold in a single season for the row team. A primary-position column means the player's listed primary position, not a position they played for that team or in one season. Every name above is a verified answer from the same data the game judges on, not an editorial pick.
