I wanted to open a dialogue regarding Tippernaught's recent video on defensive efficiency post-trade deadline. While the focus was heavily placed on block rate and defensive field goal percentage (DFG%) at the rim, I argue that the analysis must also incorporate the shift in opponent shot quality (specifically limiting corner threes) resulting from the acquisition of a dominant rim protector. For example, since acquiring Jackson, the Bucks' expected points allowed per possession (EPA/P) has dropped significantly, even in games where Jackson had fewer than two blocks. This suggests the *threat* of the anchor is perhaps statistically more impactful than the raw counting stats usually highlighted. What are your thoughts on integrating "threat metrics" into defensive analysis models? The qualitative impact needs quantitative measurement.
