It breaks player defense into five separate scores instead of forcing everything into one black-box number. 1. 🛡️ Shot Suppression (D1) : Ability to lower opponent FG% vs expected. 2. 🎯 Shot Profile (D2) : Forcing inefficient shots (rim protection & 3PT prevention). 3. ⚡ Hustle Index (D3) : Activity metrics (deflections, contests, charges). 4. 🧠 Defensive IQ (D4) : Playmaking relative to fouling (Stocks/Fouls ratio). 5. ⚓ Anchor/Rebounding (D5) : Possession-ending ability. Bayesian shrinkage is used to reduce small-sample noise, and the efficiency layer separates defensive activity from defensive payoff. --- Validation Five-season comparison against official NBA defensive metrics: Metric Top 10 Top 20 Top 30 -------- -------- -------- -------- EDI 19/50 25/50 32/50 DEF RATING 9/50 16/50 23/50 DEF WS 11/50 24/50 29/50 EDI leads the comparison at all three cutoffs. --- 2025-26 All-Defensive Check The 2025-26 dashboard is updated through the completed 82-game regular season. For the All-Defensive comparison, EDI uses an awards-eligibility proxy: 65+ games played and 20+ minutes per game , while retaining actual official selections to reflect league exceptions and credited-game rules that are not stored in the public season-level export.
