Danny Green is the 2nd best 3&D player in the NBA

[313]

The “3 & D” player has become a highly coveted asset for coaches and GM’s over the last couple of seasons. With teams fashioning towards smaller lineups and attempting 3 pointers at an increasing rate, it has never been a better time to have a “3 & D” specialist capable of spacing the floor and knocking down open jumpers while excelling on the defensive end in one-on-one matchups around the perimeter. This summer the popularity of the “3 & D” player was solidified as players like DeMarre Carroll, Jae Crowder and Kyle Singler all signed big contracts...

Korver is a good defender? Never noticed tbh

[buttsR4rebounding]

How does Kyle Korver rate a higher defensive score than Verde? In fact, Danny has a lower defensive rating than most. and what the heck is an MSCORE?

[Proxy]

I'm learning that a lot of players I never saw as good defenders are in fact amazing defenders. Charts are amazing!

[K...]

Yup kawhi has the highlights, but green brings the hustle. It should of really been a double dpoy award. And a bargain too.

[Holden_Caulfield]

:lmao that list is horrible. terry dunleavy korver mclemore morrow fournier are all chuckers who doesnt play D

[elemento]

I'm assuming that this ranking does not give a shit about D. KK is an amazing shooter, but his D is really nothing special, to say it nicely.

That's because he's terrible at it.

o with the “3 & D” players identified, it came to ranking their shooting and defensive abilities. I ranked the players on 4 statistical categories and gave them a score based on their rank where being ranked first scored you 34 points, second scored you 33 points and so forth. I wanted to reward players who not only excelled in scoring/defending but also had positive impacts on their team. Therefore, I ranked players by their on/off court offensive and defensive rating differentials (difference in the teams offensive/defensive rating versus the players individual offensive/defensive rating). Their individual abilities were ranked according to 3 point efficiency (points per 3 point attempt) and differential in opponents field goal percentage for shots > 15 feet from the hoop. The offensive and defensive scores were combined together to give each player a “3 score” and “D score.”

Advanced stats, 2015! :tu :lol

[keeferob25]

Chart is trash and unneeded. A healthy Wesley Matthews was the ONLY 3&D player better than Green.

[313]

Kyle Korver the gawd :wow:worthy:

[Seventyniner]

Korver is not a terrible defender, though he is a better team defender than man defender. Danny is very good on help defense and elite on the ball.

[snickles]

i'm just going to go ahead and call bullshit now.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Let's see kyle shut down mvp curry

Yep. Green > Korver overall tbh.

[milkyway21]

That's what they call him when he visited Manila recently. :wakeup
3D

Always ready for interviews, humble and unassuming (even if he's a big contributor to a championship), & sometimes the media almost forgot Faried was sitting there with him, they forgot or ignored(?), to ask him questions too! :lol

He didn't embarrass the Phil. Spurs fans, incl. me..thanks God.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

lol, Korver the whitey good at defense :lmao

This is the worst "evidence" I have ever seen.

I wouldn't worry too much about this. Some player fans do this to butter their argument without really even figuring out what the numbers mean. I'm hypocritical though, I didn't bother to look, but I saw where the following players had a better D rating than Green (who I think is a little whiny girl) and moved on:

Paul Pierce
Alan Anderson
Wayne Ellington
Iman Shumpert
Hollis Thompson
Jason Terry

Good for ruffling some feathers,

Thanks Kanye

[GSH]

11 out of the top 15 were ranked better to significantly better than Green. Stupid shit.

Those of you who don't think Korver plays D aren't watching. Korver is strong and plays hard. He's a bigger version of Danny Ainge. He's one of the few guys in the NBA that I would straight-out call "dirty" (as was Ainge). But he's a guy you like if he's on your team. If the Spurs were looking for a guy to put on the team to being some toughness ("I want some nasty") they couldn't to much better than Korver.

I hate the sonofabitch.

[ginobilized]

Why is Klay Thompson not on this list? Strange

[exstatic]

Advanced stats, 2015! :tu :lol

Please don't confuse some shit a dude made up in his head with actual accepted advanced stats.

[SAGirl]

Why is Klay Thompson not on this list? Strange
Just a guess, but since he's made all-star, and is considered a versatile scorer, he's not a strictly 3/D type. Just a guess. I don't know how they rank this stuff either. Very nebulous.

Relax, just joking around. There's still how many days until the season starts?

That was his reasoning

[Sean Cagney]

Some on that list are just laughable man, Terry being one. List is pretty bad.

Danny is overrated and even he know he got more money than his worth... As a player he unique but also awkward, will kill you more than he'll win you...

[DeRozan m8]

2 really....3 & D

[Raven]

korver had the year of his career, you have to cheer for the guy though, white unathletic but lethal from 3 like none else and does try on D, gets helped by being smart.

[skin27]

he's in yhe philippines right now..

[G-Dawgg]

There is no way Korver should even be in the category of '3D player' he's a specialist shooter and a sieve on defense....

[cjw]

I wonder if the Splash Bros prefer seeing Danny Green or Jason Terry aiming to guard them.
