Defensive Rating Brewer: 98 Allen: 101 Brewer holds his opponents to a PER of 12.9 and has a DEF EV of 5.2, thats Garnett territory, no other SG is above a 3.5 either.
I have your lineup as T.Parker/M.Ellis/C.Frye/JJ Hickson/A.Blatche with a bench of R. Brewer/G.Davis/T.Thomas. I think your rotations are: PG: T.Parker/M.Ellis SG: M.Ellis/R.Brewer SF: C.Frye/R.Brewer PF/C: Hickson/Blatche/Davis/Thomas To be honest, I think you'll have problems scoring. None of your PF/C's can consistently create their own shot (except maybe G.Davis, but that's a stretch) so your offense will rely on Ellis/Parker, and they can't both play the entire game. Brewer moves well without the ball, but he's a poor shooter. Frye is a good shooter, but doesn't move well without the ball. Your frontcourt defense has a lot of size and is very solid, but I think Ellis will get taken advantage of since he's 6'3. If you have him starting at SG, he's going to have a lot of trouble guarding opposing SG's who have 3 inches and 40-50 lbs on him.
He had a career low defensive rating of 98 while being on an incredible defensive squad with the Bulls. His lowest defensive rating prior to last year was 106, which is the highest drating Allen has had in his career.
I'm not sure why his defensive rating would change though, if we're going by last years numbers and what we can expect this upcoming year. I could see it getting better, not worse.
i tried looking on basketball reference and all they would give was basically the definition of defensive rating instead of actual stats.

As I've already stated, I plan on isolating Garnett or running pick and rolls with Garnett and Curry. When they're on the bench, I'll isolate Nene or run pick and rolls with Nene/Nelson. How is that not consistent scoring? Honestly, I didn't see many Portland games. I compared the stats for Richardson and Matthews. They're very similar. How many minutes do you plan on playing Camby per game? He played 26 mpg last season and 31 mpg the season before. That's a pretty significant drop. And he'll be 37 years old next season. Additionally, Derrick Williams is going to be a rookie so its a safe assumption that he'll get into foul trouble and right now, you have no backup big. Depth should be a huge concern for you. Wall is not a better facilitator than Curry. Not even close. And how is Wall better for your team? Do you really think Wall will run the offense very much? While he's doing that, what's Lebron going to do? Sit at the 3 point line and watch (like he did with Wade in Miami this past season)? Wall is a horrible fit for your team b/c he plays the same role as Lebron.
I like the big man rotation of this team. Gortat is the enforcer on defense and Stoudemire is the no. 1 option on offense. I love Lawson on offense but hate him on defense. His size hurts him tremendously. Great shooter though that can pick up the pace on offense. The biggest weakness is Ron Artest. He is still a good defender but he chucks up too many shots at a low percentage. I'm not certain that he could defend some of the 2's in this league. He's a 3 who is playing out of position. Deng is solid offensively and defensively but he won't carry the team. I like Hill and Hansbrough but it's not the best bench out there. This is a nice team but it is lacking in star power. Stoudemire is the only one that can carry the offense. If he is not clicking offensively then the team might suffer. Overall I like this team but I don't love it.
PG: Stephen Curry/Jameer Nelson SG/SF: Jason Richardson/Corey Maggette/TBA PF/C: Kevin Garnett/Nene/Chris Wilcox Note that Richardson, Curry, and Nelson are all 40% 3pt shooters, and Maggette is a 36% 3pt shooter. PER: Curry:19.4 Nelson: 15.4 Richardson: 14.9 Maggette: 15.8 Garnett: 20.6 Nene: 20.4 Wilcox: 18.0
