Detroit You bytch Ass nikka
DBPM -1.6
DRPM -.34
DRTG 107
DWS .4

All terrible
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

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

DRTG is 108,DWS .2

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...

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? :mjlol: You want them rim protection numbers too?
