We all know about points, rebounds, assists, etc.
The counting stats get much of the glory in basketball. But how does your team perform when you’re on the floor?
That’s what net rating measures — the points per 100 possessions for your team versus your opponents. The more positive your number, the better your team is playing with you on the court. The more negative? Well, you get it.
Here are Minnesota’s updated individual numbers, with the offensive rating (points scored per 100 possessions), defensive rating (points allowed per 100 possessions) and net rating (offense and defense combined) through 20 games of the season, per NBA.com, with the biggest takeaway from each:

Julius Randle: 121.6
Donte DiVincenzo: 120.8
Anthony Edwards: 120.0
Jaden McDaniels: 118.8
Rudy Gobert: 116.4
Mike Conley: 115.0
Naz Reid: 113.3
Jaylen Clark: 111.2
Terrence Shannon Jr.: 105.8
Rob Dillingham: 102.0
Takeaway: The Wolves offensive efficiency dipped a bit team wide during a stretch of games against more formidable foes. But Minnesota’s offense continues to hum at a high octane when Randle is in full control of the show.
Defensive Ratings
Jaylen Clark: 106.2
Rudy Gobert: 106.6
Rob Dillingham: 109.9
Donte DiVincenzo: 110.4
Jaden McDaniels: 110.7
Julius Randle: 114.0
Naz Reid: 115.0
Mike Conley: 115.1
Anthony Edwards: 116.1
Terrence Shannon Jr.: 122.9
Takeaway: No surprises at the top with Clark and Gobert’s defensive dominance. But what’s noteworthy is the defensive ratings of DiVincenzo and McDaniels continue to improve. McDaniels, an All-Defense performer from two seasons ago, is starting to again have a team-wide impact on that end.
Net Ratings
Donte DiVincenzo: 10.4
Rudy Gobert: 9.8
Jaden McDaniels: 8.1
Julius Randle: 7.6
Jaylen Clark: 5.0
Anthony Edwards: 3.9
Mike Conley: -0.1
Naz Reid: -1.7
Rob Dillingham: -7.9
Terrence Shannon Jr.: -17.2
Takeaway: Minnesota’s best basketball this season now comes with DiVincenzo on the floor, as he’s picked up his defensive communication while hitting shots at a high rate. Four of Minnesota’s five starters sport net ratings north of 7.5 points per 100 possessions.
