We all know about points, rebounds, assists, etc.<\/p>\n

The counting stats get much of the glory in basketball. But how does your team perform when you\u2019re on the floor?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what net rating<\/a> measures \u2014 the points per 100 possessions for your team versus your opponents. The more positive your number, the better your team is playing with you on the court. The more negative? Well, you get it.<\/p>\n

Here are Minnesota\u2019s updated individual numbers, with the offensive rating (points scored per 100 possessions), defensive rating (points allowed per 100 possessions) and net rating (offense and defense combined) through 41 games \u2014 exactly halfway through the regular season \u2014 per NBA.com, with the biggest takeaway from each:<\/p>\n

*Note: Players included are those currently in the rotation.<\/p>\n

Offensive Ratings<\/p>\n

Julius Randle<\/a>: 120.9<\/p>\n

Bones Hyland: 120.8<\/p>\n

Donte DiVincenzo: 119.3<\/p>\n

Anthony Edwards<\/a>: 118.7<\/p>\n

Jaden McDaniels: 118.0<\/p>\n

Rudy Gobert: 114.8<\/p>\n

Naz Reid: 114.7<\/p>\n

Jaylen Clark: 113.9<\/p>\n

Mike Conley: 113.7<\/p>\n

Takeaway: Bones Hyland\u2019s numbers are absurd across the board in this edition of the net ratings update, which is a clear indicator of the impact he\u2019s had on the team since re-entering the rotation equation.<\/p>\n

Certainly, sample size factors into the equation \u2014 he\u2019s played the fewest minutes of everyone on this list this season. But it will be interesting to see how well his ratings hold up over the next month or two.<\/p>\n

Randle\u2019s offensive efficiency is absurd and his him punching in the same class as the Knicks, Nuggets and Celtics.<\/p>\n

Defensive Ratings<\/p>\n

Bones Hyland: 106.0<\/p>\n

Rudy Gobert: 107.2<\/p>\n

Jaylen Clark: 107.3<\/p>\n

Donte DiVincenzo: 110.0<\/p>\n

Jaden McDaniels: 111.1<\/p>\n

Naz Reid: 111.3<\/p>\n

Mike Conley: 113.3<\/p>\n

Julius Randle: 114.7<\/p>\n

Anthony Edwards: 115.5<\/p>\n

Takeaway: Gobert sports the best non-Thunder defensive rating in the NBA for guys who\u2019ve played at least 30 games and average at least 25 minutes, which is another feather in the cap of his Defensive Player of the Year candidacy.<\/p>\n

Victor Wembanyama\u2019s defensive rating is 103, but he\u2019s almost certainly not going to play enough games to qualify. Chet Holmgren\u2019s defensive rating is a 102.7 and he\u2019s still the current betting favorite to win the award.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s interesting is most Thunder players have excellent defensive ratings, whereas Gobert\u2019s gaudy number is a contrast from his other high-profile teammates. Will that help his cause come voting time?<\/p>\n

Net Ratings<\/p>\n

Bones Hyland: 14.8<\/p>\n

Donte DiVincenzo: 9.2<\/p>\n

Rudy Gobert: 7.6<\/p>\n

Jaden McDaniels: 6.9<\/p>\n

Jaylen Clark: 6.6<\/p>\n

Julius Randle: 6.2<\/p>\n

Naz Reid: 3.3<\/p>\n

Anthony Edwards: 3.2<\/p>\n

Mike Conley: 0.3<\/p>\n

Takeaway: How good is DiVincenzo\u2019s number? Forty-nine players this season have played more than 35 games this season and are averaging more than 30 minutes per contest. Of those guys, DiVincenzo\u2019s net rating trails only that of MVP-runaway front runner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.<\/p>\n

The Wolves\u2019 guard is positioning himself among the league\u2019s best winners this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We all know about points, rebounds, assists, etc. The counting stats get much of the glory in basketball.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":541320,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3782],"tags":[375,7,377,376,307,152,3954,520,6,373,66,308],"class_list":{"0":"post-541319","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-minnesota-timberwolves","8":"tag-anthony-edwards","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-jaden-mcdaniels","11":"tag-julius-randle","12":"tag-minnesota","13":"tag-minnesota-timberwolves","14":"tag-minnesotatimberwolves","15":"tag-naz-reid","16":"tag-nba","17":"tag-rudy-gobert","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-timberwolves"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115906637422288198","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=541319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/541320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=541319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=541319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=541319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
