The third highest plus-minus value in history! The Suns substitute center performed phenomenally against the Pacers?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Phoenix Suns at home defeated the Indiana Pacers 133-98. After this game, the Suns, who had won 5 consecutive victories, improved their record to 8-5, and continued to rank seventh in the Western Conference; while the Pacers, who had suffered a 6-game losing streak, dropped to 1-11, and continued to rank second from the bottom in the Eastern Conference.

In this game, the Suns' backup center Oso Ighodaro rarely had a good performance. Iguodaro played 26 minutes and 23 seconds, making 7 of 9 shots and 3 of 5 free throws. He scored 17 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks with super high efficiency. He also had 1 turnover and 1 foul. His plus-minus value reached a game-high +52. It is worth mentioning that +52 is also the third-highest single-game plus-minus in NBA history, which also shows how good the team's situation is when he is on the court. Iguodaro also showed his excellent scoring ability and finishing ability at the basket on the offensive end. He also seized the limited opportunities and scored some points. In addition, his performance on the defensive end is also impressive, and he can also play a decisive role on the defensive end. Iguodaro's performance in this game can be regarded as both offensive and defensive. His series of good performances are also an important factor in the team's ability to achieve such a big victory.

Iguodaro was born in July 2002. He is 23 years old, 208cm tall and weighs 106kg. He is an inside player from Marquette University selected by the Suns with the 40th pick in the second round of last year's NBA draft. In the NBA regular season last season, Iguodaro played a total of 6 times, averaging 17.1 minutes per game. He averaged 4.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He also had 0.6 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. His field goal percentage was 60.4% and his free throw percentage was 58%. Since the start of this season, Iguodaro has averaged 15.7 minutes per game in the first 12 games, averaging 3.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He also has 1.3 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. His field goal percentage is 46.3% and his free throw percentage is 44.4%.

Iguodaro's performance in the previous few games was completely disastrous. His scoring ability was very unsatisfactory, his offensive efficiency was very average, he was unable to create a threat at the basket, and he was unable to provide more support on the defensive end. His effect on the court was very poor. Because of this, everyone is incomprehensible that he can stay in the team's rotation. In this game, Iguodaro did display his own characteristics and value, and it did have a very good effect. However, after all, the opponent is the Pacers, who are in a bad situation, full of injured soldiers, incomplete personnel and a messy record. This performance is obviously somewhat unconvincing. Next, we can also see if Iguodaro can maintain this state in games against stronger opponents.
