Defensive impact of the top 5 scorers in the league

[Quickening]

No he hasn't

You don't need it when your O is as much better than everybody else's as his is.

26 ppg in finals with 5 turnovers is hardly God level.

DFGA: 9.6 (-7.8%) Elite


DFGA: 7.7 (+3.8) Bad

DFGA: 12.2 (+0.3) Neutral.

A very interesting stat, I've been doing some regression analysis if anyone of you would like to see it. It shows on average "bad defenders" tend to allow a higher frequency of 3 point shots, which seems to make sense.

Ill do a top 5 at each position in a little while.

No-D Curry.

Anyone with any kind of negative is doing a good job.

This is taking longer than expected lol. Formatting on this board is terrible.

Good work, but I think those with less than 10 DFGA per game, don't carry as much impact on defense, also there should be a distinction for those who play against second units.

[Graviton]

What's are Westbrook's numbers? He has been lazy on defense this season.

[Velocirap31]

This is actually pretty interesting. Thanks OP

Quite atrocious, almost James Hardenesque

Not surprising, I do think he'll lift the bar come the end of the season though. Dude is just being lazy.

The whole OKC team have been pretty lacklustre defensively, Russ tends to get a little frustrated on the defensive end of the floor, I'm sure he'll pick it up when the games count for a little more.

[Graviton]

I don't get it, during Olympics Westbrook is a pitbull defensively, and pretty good in the playoffs. But in the regular season he switches on EVERY screen and gambles non stop, 0 effort.

LOL This thread is interesting and hilarious at the same time.
