+/- is highly dependent upon teammates so it isn’t the fairest stat but outside of some great games he has been terrible.
JP is a fabulous iso player who takes breaks on defense. It’s not surprising that he is struggling on a team without an all-time great player, elite spacing, a bad set offense and terrible defense. GSW may be the only team that he can be effective on, but if Draymond is still there, there is no way the Wiz can trade him back.
The way the cap rules work now, each team needs high cost players so they hit the salary floor. It’s important that a tanking team not give a $20m+ contract to a player who is decent and might win a few games. This is exactly the best case scenario. It is crazy that two teams have worse records.
I mean, the dude has played over 900 minutes on a team that is losing games. These things are kind of to be expected. It is a bad stat, don’t get me wrong, but it is pretty negligible.
A situation where it would be bothersome is someone like John Collins on a 14 W 18 L Utah Jazz having the 7th lowest +/-.
You asked for a tank Commander
Poole will lead us to top 4 picks for the remainder of his contract. He sucks, but I’m not complaining. This is what rebuilding’s all about, baby! Lead us to the promised Flagg, Jordan!
I don’t watch a lot of the Wizards games, does this number actual do him justice?
I thought he would at least avg 20+ points per game
Is that Sir Tankington?
We knew we were getting Beals’s contract back and I agree. Damn.
Poole, Kuz & Tyus all bottom 5 in +/-
Save the stat for rating teams/lineups, not individual players
However, Poole has been bad
+/- is a flawed stat. Poole has been bad but Kuz is also in the 500s according to this stat and he’s having a pretty good season. There are better metrics to use…this is just NBA Central doing its usual “low hanging fruit for engagement” bit
Aside from stats, anyone watching a game can see how he stops ball movement, takes bad shots, and doesn’t even try on defense.
It’s one thing to have bad stats, it’s another to fail the eye test. It’s a tragedy to disappoint in both categories.
Dude is garbage
Maybe draymond should have given him another punch
