I have a question about this stat. On the ESPN page I have been watching the defensive numbers.
I have noticed that the best defensive point guard score around +2 and the worst around -5. For centers, the best are around +5 and the worst around -2.
¿What do you take out of this?
Since the difference for both is 7 points, ¿does this mean that the diference between a good and a bad defensive player for centers and points guards is basically the same?
Popular knowedge tells us that a good big man has more impact than a good perimeter defender, and the stat supports that.
But also tells us that a bad interior defender kills your defense, and this numbers say that a bad point guard defender is even worse.
I don't understand the math behind it, so maybe I'm dead wrong, ¿what do you think?
