Box Plus/Minus is a basketball statistic that measures a player's overall impact on the game while they are on the court. It calculates the point differential when a player is playing, comparing the points scored by their team to the points scored by the opposing team. A positive value indicates that the player’s team outscored opponents, while a negative value suggests the opposite. This metric helps evaluate a player's contribution beyond traditional stats like points or rebounds. By considering both offensive and defensive performance, Box Plus/Minus provides a more comprehensive view of a player's effectiveness in contributing to their team's success.
