Point Guard defensive impact comparisons

Didn't know, where to post it, might as well do it here. Rook had tough first season, but it's not as shiny for a guy, many wanted, as well. Hint: look around Lawson.

Big shout to old man!

There are so many shocking bits on this graph. Payton is one - for an alleged good defender, he was basically terrible. And Andre Miller simply did not look like he had anything at all like that in him. IT was surprisingly good, while Westbrook is pretty disappointing. And of course, LOL at the LaVine outlier.

Well IT and Bledsoe force the same drop in FG%, but Bledsoe is to the right, which suggests, he was guarding more efficient/better player. Smart does the same in Boston. Plus number of attempts isn't reflected. 'Dre has combined stats, so it might be, that he was covered/helped better in Washington, though their fans claimed, he couldn't guard a chair. At the same time while speedsters blow by him, he still reads the game well, so can often find a shortcut. Darren got a hit during Corbin tenure.

I read this graph upside down..I was freaking out..no damn way is LaVine the best defensive PG in the NBA. Almost a heart attack!
