You're an advanced stats guy, so I'm wouldn't be surprised if you have something to back up this opinion, but imo it would work as an argument for abandoning advanced stats altogether (tongue in cheek). Capela, whatever we think he's still got left, was a FINE defender during the end of his Rockets tenure. One of the best in the game - a difference maker.
I like Holmes, but have never thought of him as a difference maker on either end.
Maybe I am misremembering, but I thought Capela struggled in the playoffs in his late Houston days. I seem to remember there some thought that he was getting run off the court against 5 out and that is part of the reason they traded him.
