The conventional wisdom on this board is that Armstrong is destroying McGee in terms of +/- stats, although no sources are provided.
As far as I can tell, Armstrong is 50% worse than McGee regarding +/- on a per-minute basis (-.317 versus -.215).

The worse player – by far – of those playing more than a total of 15 minutes in the first five games is Arenas at -.660 per minute. The Thornton has the best ratio.
The starting unit of McGee, Blatche, Thornton, Hinrich and Wall has a positive +/-.

The numbers seem to suggest that the Wiz collapse at certain times when some substitutions are made. For example, in looking at 2 player combos, when Yi and Arenas, Young, Hinrich, Martin or Booker are on the floor, the absolute +/- plummets.
Based on Flip’s substitution patterns, we can deduce that he’s not a stats guy. And maybe Ernie needs to focus on filling a few key bench holes?
