Been loving the defensive effort from the rookies so far this season.
It’s still early, but thought it was worth taking a look at their defensive impact, since Dawkins made mention of it being something to look out for in the preseason.
Something to consider, this is a look mainly at how our players compare to each other. I’m working on a team review after 20 games to see how we stack up to the rest of the league.
Hope this information is insightful to you all.
A lot to look forward to with the Wiz going forward!
The stat I looked at for the first graph is DIFF%: The difference between the normal percentage of a shooter on shots throughout the season and the percentage on shots when the defensive player or team is guarding the shooter. A good defensive number will be negative because the defensive player holds their opponent to a lower percentage than normal.
Looking forward to your analysis after the first 20 games, thanks!
