Enes Kanter defRTG last 20 games = 99.1

[The Blue Elephant]

If you take away the 1 game he was on the bench his defRTG is 98.6.

His offRTG last 20 games is only 98.6

If you take Kanters last 14 games his offRTG is 101.5 and his defRTG is 98.5

In comparison Gobert last 20 games defRTG is 102.1

I realize these are nitpicked stats slightly. However last 20 games is 20 games that's pretty much 1/4 of a season

Is there any way Kanter continue these kind of defensive numbers on a team once he gets traded? 20 games is decent sample size.

Btw this was talked about in that deleted thread but it deleted.

Defensive rating is a nearly useless individual stat, because just like raw +/- and such it relies heavily on the team as a whole.

It is a measure of how many defensive stats you generate relative to your team basically

team defensive rating combines with steals, blocks, rebounds fouls

Basically it is a completely worthless stat

I didn't think it combines steals, blocks etc. I thought it was points per 100 possessions as a team.

If you want a more reliable stat you can use DRPM. I'm not a big fan of it either but it at least attempts to remove the team variable by adjusting for the effects of the player's teammates and opposing players.

How do you check DRPM for last 20 games?

I don't think there's any way to query it. Like I said though, I'm not a big disciple of it, it's just a more polished version of defensive rating.

I don't think DRPM is a reliable stat. They don't even give us the formula for it. It's just a newer version of Regularized Adjusted Plus-Minus is all ESPN says.

Yes, and that's why I don't put much stock into it either. My point is defensive rating for individual players is useless because it relies so heavily on the team as a whole and DRPM is supposed to adjust for that variable.

According to that though James Harden is one of the better defending SG's in the league and Kevin Love and David Lee are also great. I am trying to find out if Kanter really is bad or good at defense. He doesn't seem THAT bad on defense. Worst center in the NBA by far bad? Really?

Also I made this thread so if other GM's look on these forums it will bring up his trade value.

Defensively he has been much improved this year speaking of Harden
