Why Yaxel Lendeborg is rated −0.9

  • −0.9 means his teams score about 0.9 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 272nd best of the 337 players we rate.
  • It comes from both ends: −0.2 on offense (222nd of 337) and −0.7 on defense (273rd of 337).
  • It's built on 250 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 had no rating before this season, so this one comes only from his games so far.
  • He's playing about 32 minutes a game for Golden State.

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.
