In terms of impactful, Shead is top 3 or 4 for me. The highest +/- on the team by far. Theres a clear difference with him on the floor.

I'm guessing DDPM is like DBPM, which incorporates assists. Not only that, assists for a big man gets amplified. DBPM shows that Jokic is a top 5 defender of all time, for instance.

After the initial excitement, Queen may be approaching the worst starter in the entire league.

DDPM seems to account for teammates, pace and opponents. I don't know how they do this, but they don't blame Queen for New Orleans bad defense. He gives up a decent % at the rim. He rebounds. He gets deflections.

I agree. He makes all the little plays that swing games.

Some love for CMB from ESPN's rookie rankings, placing him 9th:

9. Collin Murray-Boyles, Toronto Raptors
November ranking: Ninth

Despite being listed at 6-7, Murray-Boyles has spent 93% of his minutes at center, per Cleaning the Glass. That small-ball approach isn't perfect, as Murray-Boyles has plenty of offensive limitations; he has made only 15 3-pointers in 37 games. But his switchability and movement make him an ideal fit on the defensive end: The Raptors have a 106.6 defensive rating when Murray-Boyles shares the court with Scottie Barnes, which is 10 points better than the league average.

Based on December and January after Poeltl went down, I would probably have him in the top 5 tbh, but good to see him being recognized.
