Defensive Production

Let us examine the per 36 minutes defensive stats to see how the players compare in that area.  Carter-Williams’ averages 4.9 defensive rebounds, 1.9 steals, 0.7 blocks, and 3.1 personal fouls per 36 minutes.  Compared to McLemore’s 2.9 defensive rebounds, 1.0 steal, 0.3 blocks, and 3.2 personal fouls.  Again, the statistical output edge lies with Carter-Williams, but let us examine how the players rate by the advanced metrics for a different look.
