Ill post the defenders from best to worst according to Dfg,Defensive field goal percentage,meaning this is what their opponents shoot when defended by the player.and ill give them a grade. 1.Eric gordon DFG 36.7 Grade 97/A+ 2. Harty DFG 40.6 Grade 93/A 3.Harden DFG 42.5 Grade 88/B+ 4.Austin DFG 42.6 Grade 88/B+ 4 Clemons DFG 42.6 Grade 88/B+ 6 Pj DFG 44.1 Grade 86/B 7Capela DFG 44.5 Grade 86/B 8Thabo DFG 46.9 Grade 80/B 9House DFG 47.4 Grade 79/C 10 mcclemore DFG 48.3 Grade 76/C 11Chandler DFG 52.4 Grade 68/F 12.Russ DFG 54.5 Grade 65/F 13.Clark DFG 63 Grade 50/F- The grades that I gave them are not exactly perfect but is a ball park estimate.Analysis, Russ defense is unacceptable, so far he has too many defensive lapses and the coaches need to get on him. I am very surprised to see harden in top 3 ,hes a good defender when he put his mind to it.Tyson is getting old and by the data it looks like Harty may have one the backup center job,hes the defensive anchor the rockers need, even though hes not offensively polished yet, hes an asset.I believe house is better than what the stats indicate just a few games ago his dfg was in top 5 but since hes been playing hurt at times and missing games it seems his defence has taken a hit ,Im not worried about him though.So far Rockets defense is ranked 25th in opponents points per game ,that really bad. Im still waiting for that backup 4, MOREY time to pick up that phone playa.
You are giving Harden a better defensive grade than Tucker? Why? Is it just based in DFG and nothing else?
