ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

Its why Green has been so valuable on that end.  Its a shame Frank is useless offensively because he would be a great bench point of attack defender otherwise.

I just stumbled on a pretty interesting Josh Green stat for anyone not rating Green's defense  

Why i think he is lowkey in the top 5/10 of the most disruptive defenders in the league. There aren't many better point of attack defenders than him imo. I still think Green might already be pound for pound the best defender on the Mavs.


Green's TOV % on/off is currently borderline insane at +5.2 TOV %. Caruso might be the top of the mountain at that, forcing TOs. His on/off is at +5.7 %. Obviously helps that both the Mavs and Bulls are trash at forcing TOs. Grand Theft Alvarado is "only" at 2.2 % for example. Thybulle is very good, but Sixers are already forcing TOs at a decent rate without him.OG is good, but the entire Raptors team forcing TOs. Haha

The difference between the best team at taking care of the ball and the worst team at taking care of the ball is 4.5 TOV %.

1st Raptors at 12.3 % TOV
3rd: Mavs at at 12.7 % TOV
30th: Rockets at 16.8 % TOV


Teams vs. Mavs without Josh Green are at 13.4 % TOV (which is the equivalent of 4th best TOV % in the league, tho Mavs are not really great at forcing any TOs without Green)

Teams against Josh Green Mavs are at 18.6 % TOV, which is basically much worse than the Houston Rockets.

1.8 % TOV worse than the Rockets to be exact. Which is the difference between the best and the 10th best team on top.

Tho basically Josh Green turns the Mavs (and Caruso the Bulls) into a better version of the Raptors by himself at forcing TOs (they are leading the league at turning teams over into a 17.5 % TOV rate).
