You know whats REALLY weird?
You guys know the game that Young recently had 43 points and carried our team? Well his +/- is only +2.... what's that supposed to mean?

It means he was in the game with Al Thornton...

LOL
True, though. Thornton might be the worst player on our team who plays huge minutes. He looks ok sometimes, but he’s a very poor team defender, a very mediocre man to man one, he can’t shoot, doesn’t rebound, can’t pass, and doesn’t get to the line in order to make up for his inefficient shooting. I’d actually rather we play Cartier Martin over him.
By the way, some of these arguments can also be applied to Yi. I’d rather see Booker as our first big off the bench.

It means he played almost every minute of a very close game.....
Plus / Minus stat is only that…. For an individual player, it counts how many points your team scored minus your opponents points when that player was on the floor….
So if the Wizards win 100-99 – and a player plays all the available minutes – their Plus/Minus would be +1
He's "delightfully cranky"

this isn't weird at all
raw plus/minus rarely tells you anything.
especially if you play on a bad team
i remember a few years back Henry Abbott of ESPN was ribbing Kevin Durant for having a negative plus minus. Turns out Abbott was full of crap. That’s what u get with the ESPN stat whores.

Seriously
Hate ESPN analytics most of the time…they draw the most inane conclusions trying to shock everyone with their indispensability…
