These numbers (which is what so many people focus on) are mostly meaningless. They are probably linear with time on the court, so it does reflect the coach's evaluation. Not much for defense, etc.
So I continue to look at +/-. For the WNBA, it is available as +/- per 100 possessions.
For instance, Lexie's numbers don't tell her story well. When I look at her numbers, it is concerning.
Her +/- per 100 possessions while she's on the court minus her team's +/- per 100 possession while she's not on the court is -15.9. I don't think a team can sustain that long.
The same stat for Nneka is +21.0. To show how you have to think about some of the stats, the WNBA leader in "Player Efficiency Rating" is A'ja Wilson, but her stat for +/- On-Off is just 3.5.
Others:
Karlie +6.2
Alanna +3.2
Chiney -6.2
Haley +7.2
DiJonai +12.8
