Re: Amir Johnson - Detroit Piston Tracker

NEWS FLASH.

Amir Johnson has statistically surpassed Aaron Afflalo as the best defensive player on the Pistons.

Here is how the master list looks.
Player/ points allowed per 100 possessions/ eFG% allowed

AJ/ 99.0/ .415
AA/ 101.1/ .446
CB+RW/ 102.5/ .472
TP/ 102.7/ .471
AM/ 104.0/ .484
RH/ 105.1/ .478
JH/ 105.8/ .470
RS/ 106.4/ .478
JM/ 107.7/ .477

The beautiful thing is that this isn't just a case of a guy playing great defense, but hurting the team on offense. In fact, the spread between his offensive stats and defensive is +12, with Chauncey Billups as the only player ahead of him with a +13.1.

The amazing thing to me after looking at that list is how bad Stuckey and Maxiell are shaking out (on paper) on the defensive end.

Just want to conclude by pointing out that Amir may have "earned" playing time more than any bench player in Pistons' history. Dang.
