Dame double teamed question...

[Jon]

so, we all know that teams are doubling Dame, pretty much, at the half court line.

my question is:

is there anyone in the NBA that gets double teamed as much as him? honestly, i'm really trying hard to think about it and i don't think there is... shouldn't that go into consideration for MVP? legitimately curious.

No and it's not close.

I can't find it right now but I'm pretty sure I saw a stat on Twitter that he's doubled or blitzed in pick and roll over twice is often as the next NBA player.

I think harden would be somewhat close if they played a center. They don't run nearly as much pick and roll since getting rid of Capela.

Teams in the past have been able to get away with doubling and trapping Dame, but they're learning this year that they can't do it as easily.

Harden, for sure sees it just as much if not more

No

Curry, Harden, Lillard. I haven't seen anyone else get trapped as much.

Warriors have killed teams trying to do it by having shooters at every other position. Blazers are doing something similar now with that lineup of Trent and Melo. With Aminu and Harkless they were never able to take advantage of the traps.

I don't watch all of Houston's games but when we play him, we trap him at halfcourt.
