Statistically Determining Defense

[ItsGoTime]

Sorry.  There were some type-os.  Corrected.

8% -- Paint-Dfg%
19% -- Paint-Missed FGs
6% -- Mid-Dfg%
13% -- Mid-Missed FGs
3% -- 3pt-Dfg%
11% -- 3pt-Missed FGs
6% -- Defensive Loose Balls Gained
2% -- Charges Drawn
7% -- Defensive Box-outs Resulting in Team RB
17% -- Defensive Rebounds
6% -- Blocks
2% -- Steals

So, looking at that specific weight, I'm putting 43% of the overall weight on # of FGs missed.  Looking at that piece, the 3 ranges break down as follows:
Paint - 44%
Mid - 30%
3pt - 26%

In today's NBA of centers having to switch on defense and guard stretch bigs, I'm happy with this weighting.  What are your thoughts?

I like opponent fg% a bit more than you do, but it looks pretty good. Breaking down blocks and steals a bit more might be a decent addition, albeit I haven’t delved into numbers enough to know what can be used. I’m starting to seriously consider paying to get profitx for next season. If the Mavs have a good offseason I probably will.
