AD is leading the league in defensive RAPTOR (+5.4). He’s also #3 in total RAPTOR (+9.3) behind Luka and Jokic. Our only other positive defenders are Reaves (+2.7) and JTA (+1.8), though JTA has a low sample size of minutes. Our only other net positive players are LeBron (+4.4) and Reaves (+3.4).

    Bruh I’m Sorry, there is no way AD is a +5.4 Defensive RAPTOR and Nikola Jokic is +4.8 Defensive RAPTOR, AD is not just only .6 better defensively than Jokic lol

    Honestly surprised to see Reaves rated that highly on defense… my eye test says he gets abused a lot

    He’s also leading the league in guys leading from the bench.

    There’s always a new geek stat that doesn’t contribute shit

    Defensive stats are mostly bogus. Eye test all the way

  6. This-May-Be-It

    No stat is convincing me that LeBron is a negative on defence and Nikola Jokic is the third-best defensive player. Since I actually watch games.

    Who’s that at #2? It’s ok the Lakers have their rainbow baby in Reaves
