I am not surprised to see his defensive impact still a big negative. I don't think that is a statistical fluke. But of course 16 games of data with crazy lineup inconsistency is going to be noisy.
The fluke is that some of our guys played a lot of minutes with mediocre teammates that wouldn´t see the floor in most cases. When everyone was still healthy Richardson had a -10 on/off. While he was out the team continued to play and the "off" number changed. Not like Johnson or Iwundu have a better on/off number than Doncic. They are just as bad on defense. Even WCS is only at +1.1 on defense at this point.
