I always use a combo to see how good a defender is, because most defensive stats never really paint a whole picture.
For raw stats, Stocks (steals+blocks) is always good to see. A good defender should get a lot of those.
DPM, Defensive Win Shares, and DRTG I look to see if they all share a similar trend and what percentile that player ranks in each of those advanced stats.
My absolute favorite though is just what other players shoot when guarded by the guy. Is he holding them to less than 5 percentage points below league average? If yes, and all the other things above tell a similar story, I believe that the guy is a great defender.
