Making an Impact 

Post#1 » by NewWolves » Sat Mar 10, 2012 12:04 am

Most fans pay no attention or interest (myself included) to the +/- stats. Many coaches in the league take them serious, others not as much. Either you consider them or not, they should not be discarded as an example of impacting positively or negatively the game. Here are the numbers for this season:

K. Love +101
J. Barea +55
M. Webster +49
R. Rubio +48
N. Pekovic +45
D. Williams +34
W. Ellington +28
A. Tolliver +26
M. Beasley +10
B. Miller +3
A. Randolph -21
L. Ridnour -31
D. Milicic -38
W. Johnson -64

Notes: Did't knew Webster bring that kind of positive impact and JJ for that matter. In the other hand I was very surprised to see Luke down there, and not surprised at all of Love being the first.

This stat is very dependent on who else is on the floor though. Randolph's PER is 17.1, Tolliver is like 6.8. Yet Tolliver has +26, Randolph -21. +/-

^ This is absolutely true. I posted this because of an article I saw earlier today.... http://www.nba.com/2010/news/features/john_schuhmann/03/11/stats.analysis/

In the middle of the article the use Darko and the Wolves as an example
