Rondae Hollis-Jefferson making his mark in analytics

In traditional stats, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is having a good season for a rookie. He's first in steals --being the only rookie with two games with five. He's also fourth in shooting, tied with his Arizona teammate T.J. McConnell; fourth in rebounding; and fourth in double-doubles too.

And as Kevin Pelton of ESPN reports, his analytics are even better. He starts with his affect on the team, as measured by real plus/minus.

RHJ's 1.07 RPM puts him on the short list of rookies who are making a significant contribution this season. With Hollis-Jefferson on the court, the Nets have actually played at the level of a playoff team, posting a net efficiency of +2.
