Does it mean because he lead the league in blocking per game that he is going to be the best Paint defender in the league? No.

I don't think he will be either, I like his game and I like the Thunder but he still has lots of work.. He's improving very nicely though

I like Ibaka too, I personally think that some stats are very useful while some are not. I hate when on other forums people bring up irrelevant stats like TS% and ect. I do however believe some stats such as team defensive stats can really tell people how a team/ player is playing rather then an "eyeball" test. But as always if you don't watch the NBA often you really shouldn't refer to stats unless you have the knowledge to back it up.

Synergy is a great deal just as a NBA fan. Great alternative to NBA Broadband League Pass for around the same price, especially since half the games I want to see on League Pass are blacked out.

Yeah you have to use both the eye test and the stats. Eye test helps you explain context, and stats help you remove any prejudice or biases you inevitably will get just by only watching games.

You only use stats to support your arguments though?

He is an 86 in 2K12 not much of a difference. Iggy is versatile just not very aggressive. Elite level defender, Elite Finisher and he is the second best passing SF behind LeBron. He didn't shoot too shabby this year from 3pt land. His main weakness is sometimes he is a little too passive and his free throw shooting.

Dunking high, vertical high
Dribbiling high or above average for his position
Passing above average for his position
Defense, elite level for his position
Shooting average from 3 shot well
