Bowen looked good because he had prime Duncan, one of the best team defenders of all time.

Kwahi and Danny have to defend in Duncan's twilight years, and like previous poster side are far stronger on offense, their net effect is much higher.

Kwahi is best at defending power players, Green is best at defending speed players.

Don't think there's any way to really justify that line of reasoning anymore.

FWIW, B-ref's defensive box/plus minus
3rd Tony Allen
5th Kawhi Leonard
6th Draymond Green
10th Danny Green

The other six are big men:
Bogut, Duncan, Jordan, Sanders, Davis and Hibbert.

Yeah, they also had Leonard as a negative on offense. Green is leading the team in total box plus-minus and has a huge lead is VORP, which is pretty incredible given that his three-point shooting is still not up to par.

Yeah, they also had Leonard as a negative on offense.

It isn't surprising considering his blurry vision and how this affects his effectiveness (FG%, 3P FG) but the good thing is that he's still improving his defensive numbers according to them.
