In Reply to: +/- analysis for the Bruins roster YTD posted by RossVegas on February 09, 2025 at 09:44:22
This is excellent work.
It would be interesting to compare this to other teams and past Bruin teams. Obviously, we don't have the numbers for them, but what we do have is Box Plus Minus, a metric that estimates a basketball player’s contribution to the team when that player is on the court based only on the information in the box score. BPM does not take into account playing time, which we see with Mara's numbers. Here is the season +/- vs. the BPM:
+/- BPM
Dailey 11.1 9.8
Clark 9.2 6.5
Johnson 8.9 8.1
Bilodeau 7.8 8.5
Stefanovic 5.5 3.9
Mack 4.8 4.1
Mara 4.5 9.4
Andrews 4.4 1.9
Here are the top BPM for UCLA players since 2010:
Lonzo Ball (2017) 12.0
Jaylen Clark (2023) 11.9
Jordan Adams (2014) 11.5
Kyle Anderson (2014) 10.9
Jaime Jaquez (2023) 10.7
Here are the top Big-10 players this season:
Smith (Pur) 12.7
Ivisic (Ill) 11.6
Goldin (Mich) 11.0
Winter (Wis) 11.0
Thornton (OSU) 10.9
Gillespie (Md) 10.3
Harper (Rut) 9.9
Reese (Md) 9.9
Dailey (UCLA) 9.8
Ballo (Ind) 9.5
