Excellent suggestion on deflections. Do you know where I could get the numbers?
Specific scenarios... I like it. It would give the dfg%/shots missed another dimension. What are your thoughts on weighting it?
NBA.com has tracking data for most of the stuff I suggested. Other options are behind paywalls.

I think DFG%/DFGA around the rim is doing a good job when it comes to help defense/rim protection. For a big that is probably still the most important aspect of the game. Followed by pick and roll defense. Unless a team is facing Jokic or Embiid post up defense isn´t nearly as important as it used to be.
