It was probably too much to expect people would connect the assertion made in this thread with a similar one made the day before in the "Let's be Real" thread that contained more data. That post contained the methodologies that rate Powell more highly as a defender including:
D-Lebron
D-Raptor
LA-DRAPM
D-LeBron Box
Box Plus Minus
On Court Defensive Points Allowed
On Court Defensive EFG% Allowed.
D Rating
This wasn't on the original list, but BBall Index tracks nine values in a category they call Perimeter Defensive Activity (like Deflections Per Possession). Powell ranks higher in 8 of them.
I mean literally the only thing that supports Maxi as the better defender this year (besides the eye tests of some people on some other board) is DRPM.
