Ok, not to be a downer, but this is just a mathematical consequence of having the best team defense at the moment. For example, nobody really thinks Tatum is a better defender (now, past, ever) than Giannis, but Tatum is here at 15 while Giannis is at 143 because Boston’s defense has been much better than Milwaukee’s.
Good for the Wolves to have a good defense, but this isn’t a good reflection of the individual defensive skills of these guys vs. the rest of the league.
