Real Plus-Minus (RPM) was recently updated by the ESPN Sports Analytics Team. This new version of RPM was inspired by the original RPM created by Jeremias Engelmann, in consultation with Steve Ilardi, and now uses advanced box statistics derived from player tracking data, along with a slightly modified statistical model.
