You mean the ball hog aka John Wall who doesn't play a lick of Defense.allpurpleallgold said:Steve Kerr is in the west playing the Memphis Grizzlies. "Bud" is playing the Wizards. Minus John Wall.
Man, you slurp up shoe commercial idols like it's the nectar.
When in reality it's called ball movement + better D= addition by subtraction. -

I have no idea how good of a defender Wall is, but most defensive statistics are shit.
James Harden was one of the bet defenders earlier this year according to stats. I would assume that is because he's always guarding the weakest perimeter threat. -
Defensive metrics are flawed, for sure. But it's a pretty far jump from doesn't play any defense to best point guard defender by the metrics. I've literally never heard any serious NBA writer say that about Wall. Washington finished 5th in defensive effiency this year and that's actually a good stat. That is a miracle since Wall plays no defense and always guards the other teams point guard.
Even Harden tried on defense this year. You couldn't say he didn't play a lick of it.
Without looking into it at all, I'd guess Harden stacks up well because of his free throws. It's much easier to play defense off of free throws when you can set your defense than off normal offense. The stats back that up. Add a high steal number and you've cracked defensive metrics. -
