But what's our defensive fg%?

Ain't that the real defensive stat to point to?

If he's going to play as a bigman I preffer for him to keep his extra weight.

TBH looking at him then and now reminds me of the difference between Rockets Horry and Spurs Horry. Different offensive games, but their defensive strengths are very similar.

Basketball-reference has the Spurs at #2 in offsensive efficiency and #11 in defense. Defense had been in the mid teens for a long time, though, so the defense has definitely improved recently.

The top 6 teams in defensive efficiency are all in the East.

The Spurs are now 3rd out of 15 Western Conference teams in that metric.

That was so last decade. Get with the times man. Now it's all about advanced stats like points per 48 minutes, 100 possessions, pace factor, etc.
