NET PERs thru 25 Games (14-11 Record)

NET PER is your PER minus the PER of the man that you are guarding. After 25 games (excludes last game against Clippers), here are some surprises. The thing that most shocked me is that despite all of KAT's offensive skills, he seems to be a defensive sieve. There have been quite a few posts in other threads cautioning such, but it may be true.

+8.7 Jimmy Butler

+3.8 Andrew Wiggins
+3.0 Taj Gibson
+0.3 Karl-Anthony Towns

-1.5 Jeff Teague
-3.1 Nemanja Bjelica
-3.4 Tyus Jones
-4.3 Gorgui Dieng
-4.5 Jamal Crawford
-5.8 Shabazz Muhammad

I think this fits the eye test. Teague and Towns P&R is a mess in both sides of the floor. Not happy with neither of them so far. Good thing is a lot of room for improvement.
