I had a though that FG% may be less important than FGA, thinking a great defender would give up less attempts per game.

But Beverly gives up more shot attempts per game than Paul, if I'm reading it all correctly.

So for the OP, does that suggest Beverly is a bit overrated, or that CP3 is actually darn good?

Defensive guys like Beverly are often good for a few years and then ride that reputation to a slew of awards. Kobe is a great example.

Beverly is probably a bit overrated as a defender. His on/off is only slightly better and his FG% allowed is mediocre.

Defended FG% vs expected FG% is a nice stat when you look at the starters in the NBA. It is basically a who's who of defensive powers with few surprises.
