Why Max Christie is rated −1.8

  • −1.8 means his teams score about 1.8 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 319th best of the 337 players we rate.
  • It comes from both ends: −1.0 on offense (300th of 337) and −0.8 on defense (279th of 337).
  • It's built on 2,400 minutes from this season and last, and the recent games count more.
  • He's down 0.6 since opening night, when he was at −1.2.
  • He's playing about 22 minutes a game for Dallas, 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.
