OG Anunoby’s unreal plus-minus making ‘life a lot easier’ for Knicks
NY Post
In the context of the NBA’s history, plus-minus is relatively new.
It was first tracked in the 1996-97 season, and the king of the stat is Tim Duncan, who never stopped winning with the Spurs and finished with an exact plus 10,000 for his career.
It’s a good indicator of impact and addresses the important question: how much is the team outscoring, or getting outscored, with a specific player on the court?
With OG Anunoby, the answer is emphatically — very emphatically — on the plus side.
Since he arrived on the roster at the start of 2024, the Knicks have outscored teams by 239 points in Anunoby’s 467 minutes, according to NBA.com.
It represents the best plus-minus for a player through his first 13 games with a new team since the tracking started, per Elias Sports Bureau.
