ws is the number of wins contributed by a player based on both their offense (offensive win share or ows), and defense (defensive win share, dws).
ows is added to dws to get total ws.
more specifically, ows measures how much a player contributes to wins via their offense by measuring how much greater certain stats of a player are when compared to an average player at the same minute/playing time level (actually # of possessions played, pace-adjusted to the league).
honestly, i don't know how they statistically calculate dws. i haven't really looked. just sort of assumed it was bogus, whatever it was.
