How to read it
- Pick a team and a window, then switch one player OFF. Each teammate row shows his change in points, rebounds, assists and usage in the games that player missed.
- Green is a rise and red a drop, in bold when the move is large. Check the with and without game counts first: a few games make a small sample.

Why per minute?
A player who gains minutes when a teammate sits scores more just by playing longer. Comparing rates per minute shows whether his role changed, not only his playing time.
