Wright and Porzingis are supposed to be our elite defenders, right? Together they're at a -14.2 net rating!!! That is by far the worst significant pairing that doesn't include THJ.
Brunson + Porzingis is at -3; Kleber + Porzingis hasn't been as ideal as, they're at -5.5!
Delon's defense has not been as advertised. His defensive rating is at 110 while his counterparts have fared much better: Brunson is at 99; Seth is at 99; and DFS is at 98.
Porzingis' defensive rating is at 112, which is also not good. Is his offensive burden sacrificing too much of his defensive duties? POR seemed to score at will last night near the rim.
Who knows what side is up or down this early in the season but these are fascinating things to keep an eye on going forward.
I don't think 5-man lineup +/- stats have much value this early in the season
