Why are you sidestepping my question.
Why dont you rewatch the Piston game and get back to me.
Here I am, getting back to you. And to reality.
Arguing about your question will come down to subjective recollection. Now, you've already proven that your recollection is factually wrong, as you missed Sully's blocked shot. So that's not worth talking about.
How about this question, which is based on reality.
Let's start with a measure of team defense, which gets to your point about rotations:
For the year the Celtics are giving up 110 points per 100 possessions with Sully on the floor, and 113 without him. Opponents are shooting 51% with him on the court and 52% with him off the court, and the on/off rebounding shares are 49%/51%.
For Olynyk it's the other way around: 113 on, 110 off. Opponents are shooting 52% with him on the court and 51% with him off the court, and the on/off rebounding shares are 50%/49%.
In short, other teams score and rebound better with Olynyk on the court compared to Sully. Given that these guys share the court so often, the "net" differences are substantive and convincing evidence that the C's play better team defense when Sully's on the court compared to KO. (Sully's backup Bass is also an equal or better defender than Zeller - so you don't have that out.)
Now, in terms of individual play, Sully's man is shooting around 51% from the field, averaging 22/12 per 48 with a 18 PER.
Olynyk's man is shooting 54% averaging 22/14 per 48 with a 21 PER.
Those are facts. And here's the question: How can you reconcile them with your statement that Olynyk is a better defender?
