Lonzo Ball

Lonzo Ball is a case where the basis you pick changes the answer. On totals he ranks 720th; per game he is 438th. 2020-21 was the high-water mark, worth +5.3, 71st that season and 2860th of 24,555 player-seasons on record. On the credit side, assists (+9.0), steals (+8.7) and three-pointers (+6.0). On the debit side, field-goal percentage (-8.5), turnovers (-5.9) and free-throw percentage (-4.1).
