Before switch to Drop defense with league ranks per NBA.com: 119.0 DRtg (29th), 16.5 Opponent pts off TOs (10th), 21.5 Opp fastbreak pts (Last), 51 Opp pts in paint (19th). Our Defensive rounding was 29.5 per game (Last)
3 games since the switch: 111.5 DRtg (14th), 13.3 Opp pts off TOs (4th), 15.0 Opp fastbreak pts (17th), 46.0 Opp pts in paint (10th). 33.7 Def rebounds per game (9th)
Small sample sizes of course for both sets of data, but credit to AG for the switch and the players for executing better. Still some stuff to improve upon, like the transition defense, but it’s clear we’re moving in the right direction over the last 3 games
i was super impressed with andre jackson jr’s defense last night. he was glued to whoever he was guarding in any given moment. would love to see him grow into a bigger role on the team
