I’ve seen some pretty good D from Scoot, I thought, but I was surprised that he is 3rd on the team for D rating so far. 109 is not that great, but it’s a bit better than the league average of around 110. I know the stat is not a perfect measure and it has only been 4 games, but it may be a good sign for a rookie.

And the eye test does not lie, Jabari and Camara are tops. (Actually, those two are tops O Rating, too)

    Individual defensive rating isn’t a very useful stat - drtg is inherently lineup based and citing it with individual players ignores all context.

    For instance Trae young had a better drtg than Grant last season when we know he’s objectively not a better defender.
