Making a fairly good fit at league level. But this would not be that accurate at the player level.

SPM is probably pretty good for what it does. But it leaves a fair amount undone. 1 year Adjusted is not worth that much.

Basically all of Nicks +7 is outside of what SPM captures. Is that a mirage or real? Is Adjusted doing a better job on Nick than Durant right now? I'd tend to think so but can't say for sure.

I guess it is good news that his shot defense isn't pulling things down further but it isn't picking things up either. 1 year Adjusted has Ibaka at about -5 too.
