Why does the Lakers still favor a 107.5 defensive rating from the outdated Model 3.2 when the team has clearly regressed?
I'm fed up with the front office clinging to that ancient Model 3.2 defensive rating. Every game we see the line-up with a 105-ish DRT, but the front office acts like 107.5 from last season matters more than anything on the floor.
- They love citing a 1.6 BPM bump on Davis as proof, ignoring the -2.3 VORP on Westbrook this year.
- The scouting reports still mention the "0.8 net defensive impact" stat from 2021, which has been replaced by the newer ODR/ODP metrics.
- Coach keeps inserting the 12.4% OPP turnover % in rotations, while our actual turnover % sits at 14.9%.
It feels like they're using a fossilized Excel sheet instead of the current Rotoviz Model 5.8.1 that actually captures pick‑and‑roll switches and transition defense. Get a grip. Stop using outdated numbers to justify bad line-ups. Anyone else seeing this nonsense?
