re: Lonzo Ball is now at 40% from 3. Check in here to eat crow. I am.

He has the highest +/- on the team as well as the best drtg along with Hart outside of Adams for players with significant minutes. Both these guys guard the best perimeter players on the opposing teams. Ball stats backs up your eye test.

we have the 2nd worst defensive rating in the league, so saying he has the best drtg on the team pretty much proves that his defense isn't that good. I don't think that means he's not a good defender, just that he's not capable of lifting our defensive rating. Our opponenets offensive rating pretty much stays the same whether he's in or out. 117.5 when he's on the court, a slightly worst 116.3 when he's off the court, so we are actually slightly better when he's off from a defensive standpoint.
