    My original thread(after 6 games) is above. I can't update the first post to keep it updated, so instead I create a new one to keep track of our players.

    As always, data is still thin after 11 games, so take it with a grain of salt.

    Update after 11 games(ranking as of yesterday):

    Overall PPP(Point per possession allowed):

    Lin: 0.76(ranked 70 in NBA for all positions so far)
    Harden: 0.94(ranked 219)
    Parsons: 0.9(ranked 185)
    Patterson: 0.88(ranked 172)
    Asik: 0.9(ranked 185)
    Douglas: 0.84(ranked 142)
    Morris: 0.7(ranked 45)


    Below is the stats from last season:

    Lin: 0.81(ranked 128)
    Harden: 0.85(ranked 218)
    Parsons:0.83(ranked 166)
    Patterson: 0.89(ranked 302)
    Asik:0.71(ranked 24)
    Douglas: 0.87(ranked 257)
    Morris: 0.98(ranked 422)

    Note: With the season just started, not all NBA players played enough minutes to qualify in the ranking of this season.


    Marcus Morris had a big jump from last year. It's still early and he's playing backup minutes, but you have to love his improvement.

    Lin improved from last season and is a very good defender.

    Asik's stats took a hit especially after the lakers/Utah game facing elite big men in the NBA. He should be back but now as a starter seems to be less efficient on defense than last season.

    Parsons is less efficient on defense but it's understandable with his increased minutes and responsibility on offense.

    Douglas showed some improvement so far.

    Harden has a long way to go, but his overall package is still promising at such a young age.
