Why Christian Braun is rated +2.5

  • +2.5 means his teams score about 2.5 more 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 33rd best of the 337 players we rate.
  • Most of it is offense: +1.8 there (33rd of 337), +0.8 on defense (87th of 337).
  • It's built on 1,600 minutes from this season and last, and the recent games count more.
  • He's about where he started the season (+2.6).
  • He's playing about 34 minutes a game for Denver, and last season he played like a low-usage role player.

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.
