See this post, and the bottom of this one, for further explanation. Simply, this is a stat-head alternative to player plus-minus, and comes from stats in the Net Points box scores created for each game. This is all based on Dean Oliver's individual net points statistics (Chap. 20, Basketball on Paper).
