Defensive rating
Defensive rating or defensive efficiency is a statistic used in basketball to measure an individual player's efficiency at preventing the other team from scoring points. It was created by author and statistician Dean Oliver.[1] Oliver introduced the defensive rating statistic in his 2004 book, Basketball on Paper.[2]
Formula
The formula is: Defensive Player Rating = (Players Steals*Blocks) + Opponents Differential= 1/5 of possessions - Times blown by + Deflections * OAPDW( Official Adjusted Players Defensive Withstand). This stat can be influenced by the defense of a player's teammates.
Leaders
Gar Heard's 95.30 defensive rating is the NBA's all-time career record.[3] Ben Wallace's 87.48 defensive rating in 2003–2004 is the single-season record.[4]
