In this thread, I will track the defense and offense TS% of our wings as a way of understanding their impact on both ends of the floor, to see if we actually need those positions replaced.
The TS% defense takes into account all players that have manned the 2 positions (SG and SF) during any particular game. For example, in the Philadelphia game, our wings had to defend Andre Iguodala, Thadeus Young, Willie Green and Kareem Rush. I did not try to isolate who defended who, because sometimes the lines become blurred, which makes the tracking very difficult and time-consuming.
Here is the wing production of the opponent and the Raptors (Parker, Moon, Kapono, Graham, Adams):
