+/- has a lot of problems - hence why it's not leaned on too heavily
and even if it weren't so lineup and game state dependent there's a ton of variance involved - ie if you look at a bad team, the non-rotation guys nearly always have better +/- than their much more skilled teammates simply because they tend to see court time once the game is out of hand and it's a well known phenomenon in basketball where a team losing heavily is going to outperform the other team significantly
if angel was in there with mostly other starters facing off vs the second unit that could account for a lot of that +26
but having said all of that, it is pretty impressive
