His defensive box plus-minus is also a sparkling +1.2, and he holds an individual defensive rating of 106.1, which is better than Anthony Davis (106.2), Paul George (107.5), Myles Turner (106.7), and Giannis Antetokounmpo (106.7).n particular, Nwaba has really stepped it up in recent days, earning some extra playing time with Victor Oladipo on the sidelines. Over the last four contests, Nwaba has averaged 14.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1.5 steals per game on 54 percent shooting from the field. And while it can sometimes be difficult getting a complete picture on a player putting up numbers on a bad team, Nwaba has recently drawn public praise from head coach Stephen Silas for how he’s stepped up during a time of upheaval and injury. Silas said:
“Regardless of what happens, David Nwaba and Sterling Brown are on it as far as playing hard, taking what the defense gives them, not letting adversity get to them.
Oh yeah
nice find
