The surprising defensive expert Caspi is better than Durant

ScarsportsScarsports—January 24, 20230

[Introduction] Caspi, who moved to the Rockets this summer, seems to have found a second spring, and people often only notice his
Offensive ability, good 3-point shooting and rim impact, but didn’t realize that he was also excellent on the defensive end.

On December 12, , Omri Caspi, who was transferred to the Houston Rockets in the summer, seemed to have a second spring. He not only stayed in the Rockets’ regular lineup with his outstanding performance, but also became the main rotation lineup.
However, people often only pay attention to his offensive ability, good three-point shooting and basket impact, but do not realize that he is also excellent on the defensive end.

ESPN expert Henry Abbott learned through data analysis that when Caspi was on the court this season, the Rockets conceded 94.8 points per 100 rounds, which is comparable to the best defensive team in the league, the Pacers.
When Caspi was on the sidelines, the Rockets allowed 104.1 points per 100 possessions.
In comparison, it was found that the number of points lost was 9.3 points more. Of course, this may be related to the short start of the season, but the gap is still shocking.

Let’s look at the combination of Caspi and Jones again. When Caspi and Jones were paired together, the Rockets conceded only 85.8 points per 100 rounds. When he and Beverley were on the court at the same time, the Rockets conceded 90.6 points per 100 rounds.
In the final statistics of the Rockets’ 12 best defensive combinations, 7 of them included Caspi, which means that without Caspi, the Rockets’ defense would not be good.

Maybe the data can’t reflect everything, but there is no doubt that Caspi is the most useful on the defensive end, at least better than everyone imagined.
Recently, about Asik’s trading plan.
Many people suggested that Moore Asik traded Anderson of the Pelicans. If Anderson moved to the Rockets as he wished, it would inevitably reduce the playing time of Caspi, Jones and others. It is hard for us to imagine that the Rockets would be more efficient.

In addition to Caspi, Henry Abbott also mentioned other surprising defensive players in the league, such as Pistons rookie Otavius Caldwell-Pope, Bobcats former No. 2 Michael Kidd-Jilke
Rist, the Thunder’s Kevin Durant-Reggie Jackson duo, and more.
