Defensive Win Shares

[mavs>spurs2]

The guys in bold are most likely in their positions because of the defensive talent surrounding them making them look better. When you get some bigs in the paint or some defensive minded players around you it's going to have a good effect on your ratings. In Kobe and Lamar's case having two bigs in the paint and Artest on the team makes them look much better all of a sudden when they were pretty much mediocre in past seasons. Having Kendrick Perkins and Garnett anchoring the middle also makes Pierce and Rondo look a lot better as well.

nice mix in your sig brah. i really enjoyed watching that

Pierce and Rondo can both be good defenders, though Pierce was much better in the championship year.

Rondo is off and on.

Duncan has already made his mark on the Defensive win shares list. He's in the Top 10 all-time.
