Will Seasoned Veteran Porzingis Outplay Rookie Lively?

[fifteenth]

Yeah I don't care for plus minus stats as they can be very misleading. I don't take much stock in them other than Lively. His are very visible and consistent. The majority of players, it just depends on who you get to play with and at what time. I don't see Luka lead our plus minus every game, but he's clearly the best player on the team and maybe in the world.

I think the data is super interesting. And people do interesting things with the data. But I don't think it's easy to make quick, accurate statements about individual players from +/- without digging into what's going on with the lineups. Individual plus/minus reports the scoring differential of the lineups that a particular player played in for a particular stretch, game or games.
