16/17: +5.7
17/18: +5.8
18/19: +2.2
19/20: +5.9
20/21: +18.4 (small sample size...with DeRozan on the floor they rank 29th in D-Rating, without him 1st...obviously not as easy because DeRozan plays vs starters but it shows how much worse they are)
Not a single season in his entire career where the defense wasn´t worse with him on the floor.
DRPM:
16/17: -0.38
17/18: -1.52
18/19: +0.65 (that´s exactly where THJ ranked last season)
19/20: -1.68
Overall he ranks somewhere between all time bad (Trae Young, Isaiah Thomas) and below average (Seth Curry, JJB). Not really the kind of player I want to see in a featured role on a team with the 2nd best D-Rating and best DFG% in the league.
NBA.com Def RTG rates Trae Young as a top 50 defensive player this season way ahead of Josh Richardson. WCS basically is the best player in the league according to Net RTG, while Rondo is literally the best offensive and worst defensive player in the league.
Also if we don´t want DeRozan due to his defensive rating, does that mean we have to can Maxi, too? His offensive ratings are just as bad, -0.63 ORPM while playing on the greatest offense in NBA history in 2019/2020.
I miss the days of simple logic that if you are the 2nd best defensive team and 21st best offensive team, that you need to add some offensive talent. Of course I wouldn´t mind to get a 25/5/5 player, who is also playing elite defense. Are PG 13/Kawhi or Brown/Tatum available?
