“And then this year, I’m leading the league in scoring, I’m doing all of these things defensively … I should be making an All-Defensive team too.” “When you got some guys in the league, the eye test tells you that they’re not good defensively, but analytics tell you they’re the best defenders. That’s when analytics don’t make sense at all.
