Bullock and Powell are probably on the high side of average. Luka and Din are probably on the low side.
I can go with this, other than Bertans, Hardaway and Brunson. I don't think any one of them is nearly as bad on defense as people claim.
I think Bertans has been good on defense, even. So far, at least. Obviously, this has been doled out in extremely small doses, which is fine - that's all he'll play, anyway.
EDIT: Oh, and I think Powell is uncommonly good at defending the pick and roll from the 5 spot. Like, other teams are probably jealous of the Mavs about that.
