You seem to be really lost here. What's the point of your argument if excluding small playing time players don't affect Harden's ranking...
Still doesn't mean bad defender expending more energy = will play good defense
You seem to have little knowledge about what RPM is. RPM is adjusted for the quality of teammates and opponents. How long you play with them is...
What are you talking about? Minutes per game is not equivalent to 'sample size'. And as I said, setting arbitrary cut off line doesn't...
And however much effort you put in, you can still be a disastrously bad defender. Your point is moot.
No, you are the one who is keep making faulty arguments here. What is the definition of small sample size in this case? Isn't 97 players already...
Those are completely unprovable statements. It is not common sense at all, and in fact, you can make the exact opposite case that the reason some...
Why do you keep making false arguments when you can see for yourself that the data is not skewed in either way?...
RPM and BPM rankings align more with common sense than the data you suggest, so the burden is on you to probe why this unorthodox data is the more...
That is ironic coming from a person that automatically entertains erroneous assumptions to make false arguments.
Why do you assume small sample size will affect Harden's ranking negatively? What if all the small sample size players have positively skewed...
Well, that is my impression and the numbers seem to back up my opinion.
Playing time is not a relevant factor. RPM is not a total or aggregate stat. It is averaged out.
lol Jokic > Westbrook? Ginobilli > CP3? No thanks, but seems quite unreliable at first sight
This might be the most detailed and accurate data of Harden's D I can find. According to...
There are 97 Shooting Guards in this league. 43rd would mean he's just mediocre bad defender. Def not the worst. Which was what I've been saying...
is player tracking plus minus adjusted for the level of teammates and opponents like RPM? Otherwise, it can be quite unreliable like BPM.
Obviously, rings and MVPs are all included what I call 'objective data.' BTW, Wilt's advanced stats are not as good as you would think. MJ def...
I didn't say slightly. Harden is just your average bad defender. That's all. It's just not RPM. BPM, Drtg, DWS etc. all point to the fact that...
I'm just trying to be rational here. If someone comes to you and asks why Kawhi's such a good defender and you show his game videos, but if the...
