Why Paolo Banchero is rated +0.0

  • +0.0 means his teams score about 0.0 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 189th best of the 337 players we rate.
  • Most of it is offense: +0.3 there (143rd of 337), −0.3 on defense (225th of 337).
  • It's built on 2,550 minutes from this season and last, and the recent games count more.
  • He's about where he started the season (+0.1).
  • He isn't in Orlando's rotation right now, so the forecast gives him no minutes.

Slide his rating to where you think it should be. We replay Orlando's season 2,000 times with him there and everyone else as they are.

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.
