Why Hansen Yang is rated −1.2

  • −1.2 means his teams score about 1.2 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 296th best of the 337 players we rate.
  • Most of it is defense: +1.1 there (55th of 337), −2.4 on offense (337th of 337).
  • It's built on 350 minutes from this season and last, and the recent games count more. That isn't many minutes, so his rating can still move a lot.
  • He's about where he started the season (−1.1).
  • He's playing about 10 minutes a game for Portland.

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.
