Jackie Robinson
F · 3 seasons · 1978-79 – 1981-82
Jackie Robinson was worth +4.2 in turnovers alone, more than his entire career total of -12.8 once everything else is counted against him. 1978-79 was the high-water mark, worth -4.2, 234th that season and 21438th of 24,555 player-seasons on record. On the credit side, turnovers (+4.2). On the debit side, points (-3.7), steals (-3.6) and rebounds (-3.4). The 225-place difference between his two bases is not noise: it is what he was worth per night set against how many nights he played.
