Frequently asked questions

What is a good plus-minus in the NBA?

+5 to +8 per game is excellent for a starter. +10 or above is elite. The best players in the league often post +8 to +15 in strong seasons. Negative plus-minus doesn't necessarily indicate a bad player — team context matters enormously.
