That's a pretty far fall from grace for the next Pippen.

defensive ranking based on stats are meaningless

[SSUBluesman]

Hmm I see Batum but I don't see Derrick Rose...Hmmm....

[Stephano]

No Derek Fisher?

Synergy employs people who watch the games and catalogue every single possession. Subscribers to its service have access to the data and videos showing these possessions. It's not a boxscore-based stat.

yeah i know that but its still based on stats, theres too much that goes into defense based on teammates etc..i mean tony parker isnt a good defender but that spurs D makes him look good. Jrue Holiday is a good defender but other PGs have big nights against the sixers because he has no defensive bigmen behind him.

[Atmanne]

That, and I'm pretty sure Synergy doesn't account much for help defense.

[Sir Buckets]

I see I have been beaten to the "Where's Rose" joke. I bid you all adieu.

[ChiCitySPORTS#1]

LOL @ Nic Batum.

[now and 4 life]

No raptors players?

[TRaps]

wth? no jose calderon, according to realgmers calderon is the worst defender they have ever seen to set foot in the NBA!
