I don't know how they calculate defensive rating


But I think team defense has to be a factor in why the player ratings are so good. A key reason for whatever success we have had in the Mike Young era is how connected we are on defense, and how we don't give up many transition points, on turnovers or fast breaks.

I coached youth basketball for awhile, and at one stage over 70% of the points we allowed came in transition. I'm sure it's not that high at this level, but it's the same concept.

I'm pretty sure the reason the bench doesn't get more minutes is that they aren't as dialed in to the team defense. GC raised my awareness on this, I'm sure he could expand further on it.
