Well, Young allowed 110 points per 100 possessions last season - 114 for his career. That's pretty awful. Terry, on the other hand, conceded 106. They might not be known for their defense but it all factors in to their overall.

I'd say offensive win shares is a fair barometer for offensive contribution; Nick Young's isn't even particularly good 0.2. I just don't think he's that great :/

I dig that and all but you gotta take into account teams & coaches.
Wizards being bad on defense overall doesnt mean Young is a bad defender. I even understand the numbers but variables matter.
Some coaches really dont care about defense. Others preach it.
If you're a stats person...

"Nick Young ....ranks 15^th in the NBA in opponents points per isolation possession and is allowing only 28% shooting in these situations. Opponents have shot layups on 9% of isolation possessions versus Young...." - 2012

"in isolation, on-the-ball situations, Nick Young is in the top 10 percent in the league as a defender" -2012

Not even making a big deal out of it.
We agree Terry is a little high.
I just think 72 for Young & 77 for Terry is odd.

We'll find out what kind of defender he is this year playing under Doug Collins.

Somebody explain what the point of giving us Luke Walton's overall was? lol

[letsbefrank]

L.O. fell off. Hope he can get back to his old self. He's in the wrong L.A. team though.
