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

[Jason Terry]

The major problem is this:

Luka defensive on/off minus 5

paired with

1) THJ defensive on/off plus 0.7
2) SD defensive on/off minus 7.4

And that seems fairly accurate by the eyetest. THJ found out this year that defense exist (at least for now). I guess that is the biggest compliment you can make Kidd/Sweeney over Rick, they helped several players to improve their individual D or just contributions to the team defense.

Spencer having the impact numbers he is having while starting while he is shooting light outs on the C & S and in general is also very concerning. I also don't want to find out what happens if his shooting numbers are going to dip even a few percentage points. If that happening Spencer is taking his air plane and crossing the border of Bullock/McGee country on several stats/metrics.

For some reason i keep seeing different on off defensive numbers. I thought Luka was closer to neutral this year. 

Dinwiddie plays almost 100% of the non-Luka minutes and Hardaway plays almost exclusively with Luka. I don’t see how this wouldn’t impact on/off numbers when we struggle so much eith Luka off the floor. I don’t think either player is a positive defensively, especially in isolation. Dinwiddie’s skill set is more needed though. And he’s the better shooter. Hardaway does try harder though. Kind of makes up for his physical limitations
