I just don't know how Grant was used in the regular season and his numbers for the whole year there are very concerning.....the worst DRating of all the big minute guys by FAR. It is far more unusual in my experience for a player in the regular season to have a sub pattern matched exactly to an opposing player.
One other thing. I don't know what the new formula is, but DRPM is supposed to account for these kind of things (guarding the best player, matchups, etc) and Grant graded as a -1.04 this past year in DRPM.
I am just finding it hard to see anyway in which Grant made DEN a BETTER defensive team as a whole when he played.
