The Detroit Pistons Defense Is INSANE

The Detroit Pistons Defense Is INSANE

So, the Duran Stewart minutes, to bring this back to the Pistons, one, the Pistons are a plus 25 in those minutes. Their net rating is insane. You were mentioning the rim stuff. The average team, Grant, takes 31.5% of their shots at the rim. The average team shoots 67.2% at the rim. When Duran and Stewart are on the court, opponents are taking 15.3% of their shots at the rim. and they’re shooting 45.8%. That is nuts. They score the most points in the paint per game and they allow the fourth fewest. Uh they are allowing bottom 10 rim attempt frequency and accuracy. When Isaiah Stewart is in the game, it gets impossible to score uh around the basket. Opponents have an 11.1% decline in rim accuracy when he plays. That’s a 93rd percentile figure among bigs. And they lose 9.3% off of their attempt frequency. That’s a 99th percentile. The Pistons also, this is, this is what I want from my Pistons, by the way. uh they allow the highest opponent free throw rate in the league, which means they foul all the time, which is just like, yeah, that’s that’s what you got to do if you’re a true Pistons team, whether it’s like 1990 or 2004, you got to be physical, and they’re they are

The Detroit Pistons defense with Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart on the floor has been MORE than dominant.
