With JI at 13, 3 of the top 15 defensive players in the league play for the Magic.
Not sure how valid this is when #3 in the league is collecting DNPs on a defensive minded team
That was from when Goga was starting. The EPM develops week to week as games get played. Goga still scores v highly defensively for the games he has played - 96th percentile. Suggs also has dropped to 96th percentile!
Edit: Sorry, I see your point now. Well, I'd argue our paint defense was much better with Goga than with WCJ. EPM reflects that. Magic is getting way more help from Isaac now than they were then.
I get it...and I'm hoping WCJ is being showcased to be honest. If he's not in the future plan, trade the #3 defensive guy in the league now - while he's under contract.
