But here, you are referencing me, so it made me click into the post to see what was going on. I just don´t think that boxscored based metrics are a good way to evaluate defense. D-Rating would tell you that Andre Drummond has been on of the greatest defenders in the world because he gets a lot blocks, rebounds, steals. If you look at the formula that´s more or less what it is. Or to be more accurate. The player that gets the most steals, blocks, rebounds contributes the most to the team defense. https://www.basketball-reference.com/about/ratings.html If your conclusion is that McGee getting a lot of blocks makes him a good defender I disagree but that´s fine. Just wanted to clarify what you are saying because the way you use the stat is not how I would do it. Someone getting boxscore numbers isn´t telling us what happened when he was on the floor. That´s actually what +/- based metrics do. |
