The Neighborhood Bully 266 Report post Posted December 5, 2017 10 minutes ago, Payton4thewin said: We actually played fantastic defense with the exception of the time vucevic was on the court. 77 defensive rating with vucevic on the bench. Kemba had an offensive rating of 105 which is alright so it's not like it's that skewed by kemba on/off. Manageable. Vucevic had a defensive rating of 115. Cant win games playing a guy like that starters minutes I'm leery of the defensive rating stats when I see Vuc leads the team in defensive rating with 107, and Simmons defensive rating is 114. Vuc also leads the team in defensive win shares with .8 https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/ORL/2018.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vuc also leads the team in defensive win shares with .8 https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/ORL/2018.html Defensive win shares have nothing to do with actual defense. They measure defensive counting stats. Vucevic is leading the team in defensive rebounding and is getting a block per game. This is why his defensive numbers are inflated on bballref Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
