Why Adem Bona is rated −0.2

  • −0.2 means his teams score about 0.2 fewer points per 100 possessions with him than with an average player in his spot, after we account for who he plays with and against. That's the 211th best of the 337 players we rate.
  • It comes from both ends: −0.2 on offense (229th of 337) and −0.0 on defense (183rd of 337).
  • It's built on 1,350 minutes from this season and last, and the recent games count more.
  • He's about where he started the season (−0.3).
  • He isn't in Philadelphia's rotation right now, so the forecast gives him no minutes.

How the forecast works, and how often it's right

How it works: every season-end rating since 2005-06, and what the same players did one to five seasons later. The typical change only counts players still in the league, so the line is a little rosier than reality for older players; the rotation-player row shows how many dropped out.
