So, what is +5 divided by 9 games.  What you've illustrated here is the Wood-On minutes are only 0.55 in these games.  If you were trying to illustrate that 'Wood is great' when he gets more minutes, you'd want to see something stronger than 0.55.  If the question was whether 'Wood is greater than' someone else (or more specifically, the players who played when he sat), then the 9.44 On-Off net rating would be what you'd look at.  

The disparity between 9.44 and 0.55 tells you the 9.44 is more about how bad the group on the floor was when Wood sat than how good Wood was when he got more minutes.
