    I really cant get this

    I know that it's for the most efficient players...

    But why are Matt Harpring and Paul Millsap in the top 3 of the Best One Player Combination in the league??

    Shouldn't it be someone like Lebron, Wade, Marion, Kobe, Arenas, Dirk and a lot more before we can consider harpring and millsap? [​IMG]

    It's just a +/- stat. The overall point differential (what his team scores minus what the opponent scores) when the player(s) is on the court.

    It doesn't necessarily say who the best player is, or even who the most efficient player is. Though you can use them to help draw conclusions on which player combinations "work". For instance, select just your favorite team, and view the top 5-man player combinations. That will give you a good idea of which combinations have played well overall, and which ones haven't. But keep in mind it's early in the season.

    Also keep in mind that Harpring and Millsap have played HUGE the last few games, and are a big reason that the Jazz have the best record in the league at 11-1.
