With giannis I think it’s more so his defensive data in 2019 is really good, in 2020 it’s historically good relative to his peers (I think it might be the best ever? Not sure though). I’m not as sure with 2021 although I’d assume so, but in know 2022 they were running a lot of pick and roll coverages in the RS rather than just auto dropping, THATS not neccessarily the best thing to do in the RS but it means you’re prepared to do so in the playoffs (Miami does this too). I’d like to note the bucks were weird with playoff adjustments and REALLY refused to not run drop in the playoffs (which isn’t a giannis thing anyways).
Why haven't they been able to be more than a middling (RS) defense after that? What do you think they changed in their approach after that (if anything)?ĭo you think they've gotten better after that? What do you think happened to the Bucks against the Heat? This is something in some ways really parallels the peak season debate with Curry, and so I kinda empathize here, but that also means I feel like you need to answer the questions analogous to those I've given my assessment on pertaining to Curry. You're doing this because Giannis and the Bucks' best defensive regular season was also the year they got torched in the playoffs by the Miami Heat. With the RAPM & DRtg data, I see that you're focusing on the defensive RAPM of Giannis in 2019 & 2020, but leaning on 2021 & 2022 to make it look like there's a consistent trend of the Bucks having a comparably effective defense in the playoffs. Not really sure what to say with the first set of data, glad you followed it up with the other samples. This is with the agreement is tougher to anchor a defense now than before for a big man (data taken from unibrodavis posts) Is almost impossible that garnett absolute defensive impavt today wouldnt drop, and giannis already looks close to him in defensive impact per stuff like regular season defense (the 19 and 20 bucks being close to garnett 08 celtics) and has monster impact in defense
No matter how we slice it even for the likes of russel, garnett and hakeem it would harser to defend in the modern spacing era I mean for all garnett is ideally built for today game he -still- would be playing a era less ideal for him (defensively). That giannis haa defensive impact metrics not too far off garnett in a era you consider much more unforgiving to defensive bigs doesnt give you some doubt about whether garnett really would have more defensive impact than giannis today?
