This graphic compares rim protectors with a minimum of 30 DFGA within 6 ft. Farther to the right indicates the player has defended more shots in that range, and distance above/below the X axis indicates the rim DFG% vs expected. (Sorry, needed that for text limit)

X and Trip I expected to be positives around the rim, Roddy and Ziaire are surprises. Granted the sample size is small, but still nice to see.

Bam Adebayo does so much more with less

It says a lot about how silly our defensive scheme is that Turner is having an elite year as a rim protector and we are allowing by far the most points in the paint because of an unprecedented volume of attempts at the rim.

Look at the bottom left corner. The Timberwolves rim protection is so good that teams just aren’t even attempting shots at the rim anymore.

Ausaaaaaaar.

11th in the league in blocks, 11th in total rebounds, 2nd in offensive rebounds.

As a rookie small forward.
