So here are our losses:  The number on the left is # of points we lost by. Number on the right is minutes Kadary played.  We average 70 possessions per game this year.  So using an average that puts Kadary's points per game impact at 8.4 points positive in theory, or .21 points per minute.

10 points : 37 minutes
3 points : 19 minutes
6 points : 16 minutes
20 points : 18 minutes
17 points : 28 minutes
23 points : 20 minutes
14 points : 29 minutes
7 points: 26 minutes

So assuming we aren't expecting 40 minutes out of Kadary, but maybe 32?  I wonder which 3 games we win.  An argument can be made for game two and three on that list.

My point is that the data itself can guide us, but it doesn't necessarily say that Kadary's increased playing time wins us more games.  What it does say is we are better with him on the court which cannot be overlooked.  Given the margins of defeat it not exactly like the games swing in our favor automatically.
