Is Karl-Anthony Towns a Top 10 NBA player after 2 seasons?

[mastermind]

Meanwhile, Jah was actually a better defender than him last year

Kristaps and KAT are closer than people think.

.

Every individual defensive metric out there says Zinger is a negative defensively and the eye test confirms that as well.

Im going to look it up later but from what I've seen, that seems fishy

No they don't.

DBPM -1.6
DRPM -.34
DRTG 107

Anunoby got similar defensive stats but the eye test tells me hes a good defender

DRTG is 108,DWS .2

But yea, KP is so historically dominant on the defensive end doe lol. If u just like a player more, then cool, but when you intentionally criticize one player about something and ignore the same "STATS" for another player, I'm gone look at that as agenda based bullshyt. KAT is the more skilled offensive player and as these numbers show, they ain't far apart on defense at all

Its important to contextualize.
Defensive metrics favor bigs and rookies usually score poorly on defensive metrics.
DRTG shouldn't be compared across teams but for players on the same team.
OG is .73 DRPM and -.5 which is really good especially for a rookie and makes Porzingis look bad, but keep in mind OG only plays 17 mpg.

Im still ignorant on metrics in basketball,i know what end of the scale you want to be on numerically, i have no idea how they calculate them.

I know a PER above 20 is decent and 30 is elite i have no clue how they get to these numbers...

@Malta

111 defensive rating & 0.005 def win shares for KAT

103 defensive rating & 0.029 defensive win shares for Kristaps

KAT is a terrible defender, Kristaps is a good defender, they not cut from the same cloth. I mean just look at where they're listed on their own teams, 8th vs 1st? You want them rim protection numbers too?
