Well...
First, I feel it's quite important to be accurate when it comes to stats,
and the number you were looking for was
-28 , not
-32(See
HERE or below).
Second, once you remove players we don't have (Gay), and those who played only few, garbage minutes,
then it turnes out that
DMC,
Malachi and
Casspi have the best (least negative) total +/- on the team...
(And we just shipped out 2 of them...)
Look below, then I'll go on.
Now,
viewed per game, this table is even more alarming,
as Omri and Cuz are all alone at the top of what we
've got used to have...
And since the overall per-game of the team as a whole is -2.7 (see below)
those -0.4 and -0.5 are not bad numbers...
...and
per 100 possessions - Cuz is the undisputed sole leader of the pack:
(But wait - there's more)
As we know, bball is not an individual sport,
and the way players work together in lineups also matters.
Hence - when you lose Boggie & Omri you shouldn't only check
their individual contributions, separately, but also their synergetic contribution -
looking at how they did as a 2-man lineup, compared to the team's other combos.
Well here it is...
Well, they didn't play much together in total (only 204 minutes),
so we can't expect much... but... wait a minute! Can't we?
Not only does the Boogie+Casspi duo have an overall POSITIVE +/-
somehow, despite playing only 204 minutes, this duo has the
SECOND HIGHEST POSITIVE TOTAL +/- on the team, (for lineups without Gay)!!!
It's practically tied for first, really!
(Note that there ARE only 8 positive 2-man lineups...)
No wonder, then, that
viewed per game, that 2-man lineup we just sent to NOP
is OUR NUMBER ONE COMBO, by far!
It's even quite close to the unavailable Cousins-Gay combo:
(If we drop the filter on lineups featuring Rudy)
...and once you check it
PER 48, or
PER 100-POSS the
DMC+OC LINEUP is
WAAAAY AHEAD of any other 2-man lineup the kings had this season,
(with or without Gay!...)
Just thought you should know...
