Baba and Day Day have been the only good players overall. Everyone else is a role player at best.

On the individual player side, Box Plus Minus or BPM is a player's impact on the scoring margin per 100 possessions. Zach Edey led all players with 15.5 BPM this year, meaning he gave his team a 0.155 point per possession scoring margin when he was on the court. That's almost 11 points over a typical 70 possession game. If he played all 40 minutes in that hypothetical game with 15.5 BPM, he would have 11 / 2 = 5.5 net points (the other half is assigned to the other team as a negative value).
Some of these numbers seem like voodoo at first, but they are simple calculations that make sense when you get into it. The point is to boil contributions down to single numbers that can be compared apples to apples so better decisions can be made.
