Why Ja'Kobe Walter is rated −0.6

  • −0.6 means his teams score about 0.6 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 247th best of the 337 players we rate.
  • It comes from both ends: −0.2 on offense (231st of 337) and −0.3 on defense (235th of 337).
  • It's built on 1,700 minutes from this season and last, and the recent games count more.
  • He's down 0.4 since opening night, when he was at −0.1.
  • He's playing about 29 minutes a game for Toronto, and last season he played like a spot-up shooter.

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.
