Plus-minus per 100 is the team's points minus the opponent's while the player was on the court, per 100 possessions (NBA.com's net rating). It rewards good teammates as much as the player, so read it as "on the floor when things went well".

Players who played at least 40% of the games and 10 minutes a game: 302 in 2026-27. By age each column is as wide as its share of these players, and ages with fewer than 10 players are joined to the next. Dots on the top or bottom edge with a dark ring are past the end of the scale.
