Jeremy Lin what in the world.
Yearly the numbers are pretty bad too. Base don points allowed per 100 field goal attempts, Hairston and Lin are the worst for three pointers against opponent's averages.
As some on here have stated, closest defender stats can be difficult to charge because how the data is tracked, it can still give some indicator.
Hairston is the worst on the team allowing 14.54 points above opponent's average for every 100 FGA. By far the worst on the team. Kemba is second worst at just 7.28 points. Hairston is almost doubled the second worst on the team.
Zeller happens to be the best on the team at -12.00 points per 100 attempts, and a wonderful -14.16 points on 2 pointers.
