Why Mo Bamba 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 209th best of the 337 players we rate.
  • Most of it is defense: +0.5 there (129th of 337), −0.7 on offense (283rd of 337).
  • It's built on 100 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 up 0.5 since opening night, when he was at −0.7.
  • He isn't in Utah's rotation right now, so the forecast gives him no minutes.

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.
