I think the reason Wembanyama has fewer contested shots than others by a considerable margin is that opponents players shoot less when he's around (combined with the fact that he has fewer minutes). He's such a good defender that his stats suffer from it, and I'm not even joking! The last team that forgot that fact got punished, when he put up 10 blocks against Toronto.
I didn't consider that. That's a great point
@@whatshorts Bro, how many Spurs games have you watched? You can see several times a game where people run away from layups because Wemby is there.
last time I checked it says defensive "player" of the year not team
Wemby is on a different level
haha fax
wemby or ad should win it for sure, and i know how insane it is to pick a rookie but i'm really leaning toward wemby. he's literally such an amazing defender that his stats are worse for it because teams don't want to shoot as much when he's on the court and he can't get his numbers up.
I think it could be wemby. his numbers are deniably good. 3.2 blocks is crazy and 1.1 steals. no question for me.
With all due respect, Anthony Davis’ actual DRTG is 109.7 this year, NOT 103.3 as said in the video.
Gobert has a 104.3 DRTG, which is way higher than Davis’, making him the clear favorite to win(not just DRTG but practically any defensive stat suggests so).
If Davis’ DRTG was actually 103.3, it would make no sense as to how the Lakers’ team DRTG is waaay lower than a 103 given that he’s on the floor for long stretches.
I know your a Laker fan but I’d appreciate it if you’d at least get the stats right.
My bad. Not sure what I was looking at. Let me check my facts
It's all good love your vids@@whatshorts
Just for easy math on the (+) odds, if you bet $100 you win whatever that plus money number is. So a bet of $100 on a +3200 odds line could net you $3200. Keep making the videos my guy! Loving the content!
haha, I know. I just have to think of it as bet 100. thanks for checking back in!
Isn’t defensive rating a team stat ? Would be more relevant to look at difference in defensive rating on and off the court, then you would see the individual impact
It's a player stat too. Same equation applied to a player per 100 possessions
@@whatshorts but their are 4 other dudes on the floor with him though 😁
Can you make a video on wemby?
Maybe. I might put it on my main channel though
Wemby all day.
Ask Gannis and the whole Toronto team…
I will. next time I see them.
Yall dont watch wolves basketball n it shows. Rudy is the best defensive player in the league this year n its really not that close
You right you right. When naz is out there things look way different on d
how can u put the league leader in bpg total blocks and top 3 in rebounds #9??? And he has the most versatility on the defensive end than anyone on this list and can block shots from inside the paint to the arc i don't think his team really affects him as an individual defensive anchor to me hes the best defender or possibly gobert
I think he's that low because of the spurs record.
Defensive rating is such a team stat
true
Guards are always underrated, Shai is fantastic ,it s not the bully hard defense but it s so smart. I would put him equal or above Wemby because Spurs suck (and I m french). Embiid out, this guys should be mvp imho .
agreed.
Defensive rating isn’t an individual stat
team and individual.
Defensive rebounding is 100% part of defense, not just because it's in the name, but because it ends an opponent's offensive possession and secures possession for your own team. Bad boxing out and bad defensive rebounding equals offensive boards for the opposition, and offensive boards for the opposition lead to fouls and giving up easy points. So yes, defensive rebounding is a part of defense.
I agree completely. Do you think the voters feel the same though?
i mean you can win money betting Rudy, and its honestly the only bet you should be taking. -700 means if you bet 700 you win 100.
brother. I didn't know I wanted to know that but I did. thank you.
Rudy is better than Davis in defense
you're probably right
Being injured and not playing is better than coming out of college?
are u crazy?
sorry which part is this in reference to?
2024 DPOY should go to tim duncan
explain
@@whatshorts i think he is the best defensive player never to win it, so it should go to him
Wemby 9th.... Ok .... next !
which video did you watch next?
I think AD should win it tbh
the lakers gotta get a better record, but I see you.
@@whatshorts I didn't actually watch the video to the end at the point of commenting, I just assumed you were going to say Gobert No1
I can't even backup AD for DPOY from a stats pov, because I'm too lazy.
I just know from watching games that when this dude isn't on the floor, their team falls to shit defensively.
I don't know if there's a guy in the league that has the overall defensive impact that AD does, to where the team drops off as much without him.
Lakers glazer, stat maker, fact ignorer. You were this close to a good video! We lose thousands of NBA fans to Lakers Glazing daily, don’t be the next victim!
Los Angeles Glazers
Wembanyama @#9??? How many min. is Wemby avg.?? ROY & DPOY! GOAT if he stays healthy! That outfit he walked in wearing was ....👀💯🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀He is the only reason Ima watching any NBA.
yeah, he's going to be special once he plays more than 30 a game.
