Can someone explain how Wiggins is leading the Wolves in negative +/- this year? He is smashing the rest of his team in this stat.

Simple interpretation, Wiggins stays on court, his team scores less and give up more, can't explain this.

Wiggins plays the most and they suck :confusedshrug:

LaVine played more minutes this game, but has much better +/-?

Also Wiggins plays a lot, Wolves suck, empty stats anyone? Or does that only apply to likes of Love and Irving?

Okay, thats one game.

[LAZERUSS]

Chris Johnson, with a horrific stat-line is currently at +21. That is all you need to know about the + / - stat. It is completely worthless.

[tpols]

Wiggins has started 73 games. Next wolf is at 49 and half of ish wouldn't know his name.

[Im so nba'd out]

they werent on the court @ the same time the whole game OP :facepalm so maybe the team went on a run while wiggins was out or the other team went on a scoring slump while he was out

[Eric Cartman]

Only 2 players worth on a damn on a terrible team, and they are rookies.

It's hit or miss with rookies mostly, tons of potential from both of them.

Try watching the games.

Wiggins has the most defensive pressure at all times, and hes also relied on to guard the best player on the other team a lot of times, plus he plays more.

[navy]

Wiggins plays alot of minutes on a team that is terrible.

Plus, no he's not that good/impactful. He's a rookie. Who cares?

Why does the other team go on a run when Wiggins is in? I thought Wiggins was all-NBA defensive player. I thought he could lock up most perimeter players?

And why does this happen all just about every game?

[Achilleas]

why they play only 8players;

[Eric Cartman]

why they play only 8players;

Tanking strategy.

The other 3 starters in the Wolves lineup:

Payne
Hamilton
Brown

Puts inmense amount of pressure on LaVine and especially Wiggins.

[Arhen]

Goal of season: allow Wiggins and Lavine to get confidence while making sure the team loses a ton of games (active tanking), looks like its working great. Wiggins knows he can dunk on anyone at anytime.

Yes, shook by near league leading negative +/- and 13 PER.

Superstar right there.

Just an example of a game you could pull from any nightly box-score...

Lebron's performance was good for a +2. Mario Chalmers was good for a +5.

Anyone with a brain and two eyes can see the potential that's oozing out of Wiggins with the continued flashes of greatness he's demonstrated throughout this season. But instead you're over here citing PER and +/- because you don't want to admit you were wrong. :oldlol:

It's alright dude.

[avonbarksdale]

if you can't figure out how playing the most minutes on the worst team correlates to having a bad +/- you honestly must be retarded

they get outscored more than anyone else, and he is always on the court

really?

If you can't figure out why Wolves is bad, then you must be more than retarded.

Unless you Wigginstans want me to believe that Wiggins is playing positive basketball while his team is dragging him down.

[knicksman]

LOL at these statnerds. You dont know sht about this game beyond stats if you cant see his potential

Have I made a statement about potential in this thread?

Simply trying to refute statements about Wiggins' supposed stardom and defensive prowess.

A player who plays the most minutes on the team with
near worst differential has a near worst differential. Stop the presses

[RRR3]

OP hates on Wiggins just because he's a crazed Duke Stan (see his irrational love for Jabari and Kyrie) butthurt Wiggins went to Kansas I guess

Oh so you never said he would be a bust before and during the early parts of the season? :rolleyes:

Sack up dude, you were wrong.
