Bonus Wins are a stat developed by Truehoop. Basically, it looks at how much a player contributes compared to how much they are being paid.

This is important for Vincent because he is on such a team-friendly contract of only $1.8 million this upcoming year.

Putting bonus wins in its simplest context, one win last season was worth about $3.35 million. Gabe contributed 2.7 estimated wins last season per Dunksandthrees.com, but he was only paid for about 0.5 wins for all of last year.

That’s 2.2 bonus wins for Gabe. To put that into context, the league MVP, Nikola Jokic, had just over 11 bonus wins.
