Turning Jewell, who wanted out, into Dom will probably go down as one of the best trades in W history.

From Basketball Reference:

GmSc - Game Score; the formula is PTS + 0.4 * FG - 0.7 * FGA - 0.4*(FTA - FT) + 0.7 * ORB + 0.3 * DRB + STL + 0.7 * AST + 0.7 * BLK - 0.4 * PF - TOV. Game Score was created by John Hollinger to give a rough measure of a player's productivity for a single game. The scale is similar to that of points scored, (40 is an outstanding performance, 10 is an average performance, etc.).

So on Jul 22 vs Dallas for example she ended up with a negative score after putting up 0 PTS, 0-6 FG, 2 ORB, 3 DRB, 1 AST, 1 BLK, 2 TOV, 3 PF

Game Score Formula=(Points)+0.4(Field Goals Made)+0.7(Offensive Rebounds)+0.3(Defensive rebounds)+(Steals)+0.7(Assists)+0.7(Blocked Shots)- 0.7(Field Goal Attempts)-0.4(Free Throws Missed) – 0.4(Personal Fouls)-(Turnovers)

GSC is a simplified version of Hollinger's Player Efficiency Rating or PER.

I think if Dom was on a non playoff team and was starting, she would be giving Paige a very good run for a rookie of the year.

also the spike in the graph is literally just her getting more minutes to play each game
