Which player are you referring to as far as value not showing in the stat sheet, O'Quinn?

They got more rest in December (not nearly as many back-to-backs and 4 games in 5 nights stretches as in November), and in that case, you would expect the defense to be better, but it was worse.

I do value intangibles. However, stats don't only make players look worse, they also make them look better. Stats say some people are good defenders, but the film shows they clearly aren't (Lebron, Curry, and Harden come to mind).

I will say that there seems to be a focus on me mentioning D-Will's and O'Quinn's negative impact on NY's defense, but I also emphasized how positive of an impact they've had on NY's offense (which has been NY's biggest issue). I'm not a fan of just trying to outscore teams, but NY's record has been much better with improved offense. I like D-Will and O'Quinn whether NY's record is good or not because those 2 are shot-makers (which NY needs in the worst way) and O'Quinn is a great rebounder. So, I don't want to be misunderstood as saying I want them benched. I actually wish Derek would play them 35 mpg.

I wasn't referring to either of them. I was basically asking if you factor intangibles when it comes to players and teams or do you just base your opinions on hard stats.

3rd in the East in scoring at Forward (5th overall in the East)
5th in the NBA in assists at Forward
2nd in the NBA in rebounds at SF
3rd in PER in the East at SF (fifth in the East at Forward)

He might not be a starter thanks to Paul George, Bron and Drummond but I think he's got a pretty great case for a reserve spot.
