BRUNSON BURNER: to NYK for 4yrs/$104M (no SnT) | NYK docked 2025 2nd for tampering

[Mapka]

You're probably right but the numbers actually say that Brunson is pretty good defensively. Maybe it's just that we watch him every night and tend to point out the missed plays or the times he unperformed due to being a human and not a robot?

Looking at two different sites..

Lowry career 107.8 DefRtg
Lowry first 4 years: 108.8 DefRtg

Brunson career 113.5 DeftRtg


Lowry career 104.6 DefRtg
Lowry first 4 years: 101.8 DefRtg

Brunson career 108.2 DefRtg


Lowry Defensive Win Shares first 4 years:     0.2 / 1.3 / 1.8 / 1.4
Brunson Defensive Win Shares first 4 years: 1.0 / 0.6 / 1.1 / 2.2

DefRtg means lower is better?

I think Def is hard to measure in stats, is it's always a team stat.

I don't get the feeling JB is a negative in Kidds Defense and he is a overall plus on the court.

I like the vV comp better. Lowry has some burst JB doesn't have.
