Zellous 2nd on team in Adjusted Plus/Minus
Tuesday, June 8, 2010
From the Lynx Stats Page, just another way to see Shavonte Zellous' total game impact. Adjusted plus/minus is one of the few stats that can capture both the offensive and defensive game, as well as team play.
| Net Plus/Minus | |
|---|---|
| Catchings | +15.1 |
| Zellous (in Indiana) | +10.9 |
| Murphy | +5.9 |
| Davenport | +5.6 |
| Douglas | +4.4 |
| Hoffman | +0.3 |
| January | -0.9 |
| Sutton-Brown | -4.6 |
| *Zellous while in Tulsa | -6.5 |
| Bevilaqua | -6.6 |
| Moore | -11.9 |
| Morris | -12.9 |
| *Quigley | -12.9 |
First, what's not in these stats is that Shavonte Zellous has recieved some of her minutes not in relief, but also in critical junctures of the game, including the 4th quarter clutch of the New York Liberty game.
The dispersion in numbers for Jessica Davenport and Jessica Moore is huge. It's huge not only because Davenport is +5.6 and Moore -11.9, but also because the two often play together in relief.
Shay Murphy's defensive presence and uncanny rebounding, more so than a two godlike games against the Chicago Sky put her in 3rd place on the team's adjusted plus/minus.
Lastly, more than might be indicated by her shooting percentage and occasional flashes of genius play, Jene Morris is clearly a rookie lost in the WNBA game. We all want Jene Morris to play as good as she looks.
