I do think it's an ok stat, but not great - simply because I doubt anyone would believe Manu is a better defender than Prince, but it should obviously show Manu is quite a capable/good defender.
Also if it just shows points scored while u are on the floor, it's a much more worthless stat than I previously had thought. I mean you can be playing sick d on ur man, while ur team is getting torched and u get equally punished for it? Sounds very ridiculous imo, it obv benefits the sick defensive teams and punishes the sick defensive players who are on bad teams.
At least if it took points scored by ur man (which is what I thought it was), it would be more worthwhile, as you can see how good someone plays man to man d (obv u'd have to factor in if they were a defensive stopper like Battier/Prince and always guarded the best sg/sf and that but it would be much more effective than showing just points scored on ur team when ur on the floor).
