I honestly don't mind a bad team as long as we draft well. Sadly, we'll inevitably trade everything for Boogie just in time to get the 9th spot in the West for the next 5 years.

I'd rather win 20 games than 35, anyway.

Defensive rating = an estimate of pts allowed per 100 possession
Defensive Win Shares = an estimate of the number of wins contributed by a player due to his defense
Defensive Plus/Minus =

There's so much that goes into defense - you have to throw the eyeball test in the too.

I wouldn't say there there is any one way, but if a guy stinks at all of them (like Knight does) that tells us a lot.
so which is the most right, based on your familiarity with this current bunch?

sorted by defensive rating
