New defensive metric for perimeter defense “PEST” just dropped



Our boy Keon is up there, also our team has one of the highest ratings.

PEST stands for Perimeter Estimated Stress Transferred. The formula was created using publicly available tracking and box score data from NBA.com. It has a strong correlation (0.65) with an overall defensive stat like DDARKO.

    I have a hard time embracing any metric that was developed in order to have a catchy name, like LEBRON, CARMELO, RAPTOR, ANTETOKOUNMPO
