ngl despite all these advanced defensive metrics, i'm inclined to regard the simple stop% as the single best measure and proxy of defensive productivity at the end of the day forcing a stop removes any potential factor of variation, it's a backbone of a good d, and when you stack multiple players with high stop% rates, it puts the entire setup in motion stop% largely cuts through the lineup and small sample noise, just be capable of distilling defensive environments that, for one reason or another, actively suppress (i.e. Illinois) or encourage (i.e. Seton Hall) defensive playmaking

the concept of drapm (or rapm in general) farming is the most noteworthy here this basically answers the question of ‘do you simply look at these numbers and decide which player is better’ and the answer is that you shouldn’t do that blindly
