Note: Plus/minus for individual games is a questionable stat in terms of evaluating comprehensive, long term individual player impact. It merely indicates when teams performed well or poorly in a particular matchup and a particular game, which at a minimum speaks to a particular configuration performing or not against another team. This can speak to when a team won the game, which can be interesting and I do find interesting. Did they create a lead with their bench or did they create a lead with their starters?
For example, the numbers from last night suggest Jokic outplayed his minutes against AD, and this was important, and that Yuta and Jordan over-delivered in their role player capacity off the bench.
Nuggets defeat Lakers by 12.
- Nikola Jokic (+15)
- Gabe Vincent (-17)
- Anthony Davis (-17)
Suns defeat Warriors by 4.
- Yuta Wantabe (+7)
- Jordan Goodwin (+7)
- Andrew Wiggins (-22)
There isn’t a Suns fan out there right now that wouldn’t take a bullet for this kid atm. Vogel trying to find him minutes on this team might be his biggest problem tbh, but he’s definitely earned a spot in the rotation. He had an outstanding preseason too.
There’s gonna be a whole lot of ‘who the fuck is Jordan Goodwin’ comments in various GDT’s this year lol.
