Really need to look at "times blocked per attempt" to get much out of this. Guys who shoot a lot are also going to get blocked a lot.

Like, Maxey has been blocked 25 times on 339 attempts - or he gets blocked once every 13.5 attempts. Whereas Mathurin has 26 times on 175 attempts - or once every 6.7 attempts. So they are right next to each other on this list, but Maxey only gets blocked half as much as Mathurin.

This. Total number means nothing without taking into account attempts.
