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.

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't be influenced by the defense of a player's teammates.

gollark: But seriously, I think a single unified crypto API with convenient interfaces could be really valuable.
gollark: Possibly?
gollark: The API should probably be designed so that it provides individual cryptographic primitives for more advanced use but has simpler functions with sensible defaults for the really common things.
gollark: Eh, maybe. But if it's a convenient single-module minified library you can include it easily.
gollark: That's probably enough for most usecases.
