Wenyen Gabriel is Always Hustling; Always Underrated

LOS ANGELES — If you had to guess, who would you think among the Lakers has fared sixth-best in terms of plus-minus?

He’s the only guy outside of the top-five still on the team with a positive on/off differential (i.e. comparing the team’s scoring differential when he’s on the floor to when he’s off).

The top of the leaderboard tracks along the lines of the general consensus of who has been good this season — with D’Angelo Russell, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, and Dennis Schroder rounding out the top five — but since 11 more players have logged at least 400 minutes this season for the Lakers, that sixth spot isn’t exactly a no-brainer.
