and it’s okay to say that Sengun had a horrific defensive season (probably his worst tbh), it’s just what happened. he’s probably not this bad next season but we don’t have to bend over backwards to try and twist his defensive production into something it wasn’t
i hate to be this kind of guy but if you think a 6-game playoff sample of a brand new rim protection metric is overriding the 2.4k minute sample of +5.6% rim accuracy on/off then idk what to tell you

according to the metric it grades “rim defense” & defensive rebounding. here are Sengun’s rim d & DREB PO lineup stats (positive is bad):
rTS: +2.2% (+5.2% on/off)
rim freq: -0.8% (+4%)
rim acc: +2.9% (-1.1%)
DREB%: -4.3% (-19.2%)

Some of this of course is that Chet’s still a slighter dude, and banging in the post *plus* taking the brunt of all those rim-pro collisions is foolish. But it’s insane to me to say that “we just don’t really run plays for our max 24 year old” is totally his fault.
Kingston Flemings: speed over size [THREAD] 🧵
