I think the point is that +- is a stat that can only take you so far. Even if you want to point to his ranking it's not likely based on +-. It's a team based stat. Honestly the +- for a player on a terrible team means the same if the player has a good +- on a real good team.

Analytics left that stat in the dust 20 years ago as far as revelance. Especially when used without context. It's a lazy way to judge a player ( good or bad ) with all the info out there now

But, again, is it good because he's on a good team, or is the team good because he's improved? It honestly looks like a little of both, which is (I'm assuming) what we all want.
