pretty cool...
on the website for each of the new defensive stats are there any player listings? i.e. the best and worst at forced turnovers, post defends, shots defended, etc.?...

Very interesting, thanks!
Did you look at how teams performed with different combinations of player-types on the floor at different times? 0 vs 1 vs 2 rim protectors would be the most interesting, but I wonder how much multiple safety-types hurts a team, given their low activity rates.

Do you mean the Vantagesports.com website? At the moment, it's articles and insights (which are different stats). Nothing at the moment about best and worst players but I'm sure that could be a potential article/insight.

Yup, we did look at this- it'll be a follow up article at some point.
