his actual +/- has to be terrible though...

Another interesting tidbit, is about Jefferson's passing. For as much crap as get gets, he's top 4 in assists per game as a center, and he's top 8 in assists per 48 minutes and assists/turnover ratio for centers playing more than 15 minutes per game.

Thats because he plays for a bad team and has weak teammates.

Foye minus 2.7
gomes minus 3.6

Noah would still fit this system better.

Interesting stats. Nice to see AL ranked so high. Still I hate the +/- stat figure. The only stat thing that I really like is the efficiency rating.

Wolves2011 was waived? Where did he cause the trouble, here or the Boston board?
