The Princeton athletic department was prescient enough to read my mind and send plus/minus numbers on each of the Tigers through Saturday's game at Drexel.
This chart shows the number of minutes played across the first 10 games this season and the difference in points scored by Princeton while each player was on the floor versus points allowed by the Tigers during the same span.
I've also broken down +/- per 40 minutes for all players who have seen at least 100 minutes of action and added Net/40 numbers ("Roland Rate") with inspiration from Hoya Prospectus.
Player Minutes +/- Bray 296:39 +35 Hummer 323:32 +24 Darrow 236:40 +22 Davis 326:28 +18 Koon 114:09 +12 Saunders 187:59 +3 Wilson 5:47 +0 Edwards 2:00 -2 Garbade 2:54 -2 Comfort 57:55 -4 Clement 3:15 -8 Hazel 79:50 -10 Connolly 154:58 -13 Barrett 142:47 -18 Sherburne 40:17 -21
Princeton has scored 597 points to date, allowing 589 points.
As for individual single game highs and lows, Ian Hummer was +26 versus West Alabama. Jimmy Sherburne was -19 in the season opener against Wagner.
The most successful lineup combination? Also the group who has played the most together:
T.J. Bray, Douglas Davis, Ian Hummer, Mack Darrow and Patrick Saunders, who were +27 in 57:12 of play.
The least successful five? The third-most used lineup and the initial 2011-12 starting lineup:
Bray, Davis, Will Barrett, Hummer and Brendan Connolly, combining to go -12 in 30:51.
The Tigers have used 102 different lineup combinations.
Plus/minus divided by 40 minutes for the regular eight player rotation:
Bray +4.72
Koon +4.20
Darrow +3.72
Hummer +2.97
Davis +2.21
Saunders +0.64
Connolly -3.36

If you want to compare these numbers with a season ago at the same juncture, you can do so here.
