Evan Turner's Defensive Prowess

[Rastapopoulos]

It's odd that Evan Turner looks so average according to DRPM

I would love Millsap but not if he is going to make 35 MIL a year in 2 seasons. That is sickening even in the new cap.

Maybe...DRPM isn't the be-all-end-all defensive stat?

I see that Crabbe did quite well. I would guess that the lower PER's indicate that the defender also did well at preventing the other guy from getting rebounds or could also indicate he is such a good defender that the offensive guy doesn't try as many shots against him.

Flawed stat. Unless you believe Channing Frye, Kevin Love and Kyle Korver all all better defenders than Anthony Davis.

Are David Lee and J.J. Hickson really better defenders than Tristan Thompson, Jimmy Butler, Victor Oladipo and Marcus Smart? DRPM thinks so.

Is Avery Bradley really the 345th best (out of 462) defender in the NBA? If so, we should be thrilled to have a defensive stud like C.J. McCollum (208th) on our team.

A bit off topic, as this is a defensive thread, but to anyone still salty about Turner, remember how we pretty much all wished we had Livingston on our team during our Warriors series? That is our guy now, except he is like a cross of Livingston and Iggy. He has legitimate size to pay small forward, but can pass like a PG and see over the defense. He is more of Midrange shooter, just like those two, but they create their own kind of space on offense, as can Turner. Plus, he's got the defensive chops to keep our perimeter in check. I think this signing is going to make us look pretty good.

No!1!!!1!!

We payed 2 much 4 him becuz were littl podunk PortLand and n0b0dy wants to cum here and we will nevr win a champyunchip unless we get reely bad 4 a cupple yearz and get draft pix cuz thats the only wey we r gunna build a champyonshep teem in PDX. U homers need 2 take off yr rose-cullerd glasses and stop tryna make chiken soup out of chikin $#!%. Turner sux hes alwaze sukked and hez alwees gunna suk. Olshay needs to be fired 4 sining him and Alan needs to sell the teem.

Sorry but its teh truth!!

This is a beautiful mix of Mixum/BGD/Tunchi and should be commended!
