Hayward awarded for his defense

[Game6Conley]

Afflalo's -6 defensive on/off split was probably the worst in the league. McLemore was -3. Terrible, but not catastrophic. In comparison, Afflalo was slightly positive offensively on/off, while McLemore was -2.5. Both end around -5 and change.

and that pivotal indicator is your great divide, its not all that much, like i said its marginal, McLemore cant be a vastly better defender if hes bad too, sorry bud that doesn't work.

so your argument is now one of a kid claiming to be the skinniest at fatcamp. which doesnt work because afflalo is considerably more efficient on offense.

if you think the marginal difference in that one stat out weighs all the other evidence, then thats on you, its not enough to disprove all the similar defensive statistics that are bad. do you have any other evidence or is on/off the one stat youve got?

most advanced metrics on defense show that they are similarly bad? no?

where else is the separation defensively, to me theres multiple areas of Afflalo's offense that are much better than McLemore, and ill detail those soon, but i cant let you off the hook with 1 stat, theres too many defensive metrics that are near identical.

 

[Game6Conley]

even the stat you use proves part of my point, Mclemore was a net negative on both ends of the floor... Afflalo is atleast contributing positively on offense(on an awful offensive team). dont give me the Afflalo's bottom of the league bs, they are both near the bottom of the league on many defensive metrics.

McLemore is close to the bottom of the league in FG% and 3pt% also. you discount those stats.. how?

Arron Afflalo was 8th in the league in 3pt %. that difference is not marginal.

This part was interesting too:

Richard Jefferson was a much worse wing player for Utah this season, in every way. Heck, Jefferson probably was one of the four or five worst rotation players in the league this season.

Didn't he start every game? Ah, Ty had such a eye for talent, eh?

Based on this McLemore was absolutely worst player in NBA last season. Even worse than Kanter.

I remember raja bell was one of the worst players in the entire league during his last stint with the jazz.

For corbin, if you were old enough then it didnt matter how bad you suck

Same with J.Howard. He screwed so badly playing him right after knee surgery in playoffs, that was such a disaster chucking/matador defense display by him and yet Corbin did not had it in him not to play him.

Typical Utah apologists coming out to support the white guy by blaming his obvious-to-everyone-else defensive deficiencies on the black coach.
