If you are on the court when your team scores 2 points you get +2, when you are on the court and your opponent scores 2 points, you get a -2. Add up everything for your time on the court, and even though Radmanovic only score 9 points himself, his team scored 20 more points than his opponents while he was on the floor.<br/><br/>It helps show a players other contributions (such as good defense and good passing that may not lead directly to an assist, etc).
