Kalu has post up 17 times and scored 16 points, which is very good. As a team, they have posted up 3 times and scored 23 points, which is around average.
None of this makes sense. If Kalu posted up 17 times, then how have they posted up only 3 times as a team. Is Kalu not part of the team? And if your numbers for Kalu are right, that is 0.94 PPP, correct? Earlier you said defense around basket was 1.373 PPP which was 94% (excellent). So Kalu is lower than that but he is very good? And if we are ranked that high, what are the PPP for some of the poor teams around the basket?
should have said 31, not 3.
Defense around the basket is different than post ups. Post ups are low quality shots with PPP typically under 0.9. Shots around the basket are made at a very high clip overall as they include layups, dunks, putbacks, etc.
Thanks, that does clear things up. For the record, I have no problem with Kalu on offense or defense except for his passing and affinity for stupid fouls. I think he holds his own against the big guys on defense.
