Why are Steph and even Luka in consideration for being some of the best basketball players ever when they don’t play defense? In my eyes the top 10 should be the best players on both sides of the ball, not just one. Can Steph really be considered a top 5 player all time without ever being an above average defender?
Net rating and on/offs are notoriously noisy stats and require context, but I think as concepts they’re useful, and if a player improves their team by say 10 points, to me, it doesn’t much matter how much of the breakdown is offense or defense
