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.

Yea, when I saw Paul's numbers, I assumed Beverly's would either be better or he'd give up less shot attempts. I was surprised to see he gave up more shot attempts and was slightly worse.

I don't know about that, especially for guards. Klay measures great but the rest of the top guys are Jason Terry, Jrue Holiday, Dion Waiters, Vince Carter, etc.
