While fans might have developed some more patience regarding the Jeremy Sochan-at-point-guard experiment or understanding how Victor Wembanyama will fit into the offense, the accumulating losses are beginning to become frustrating. As a result, I wanted to research the weak points in the Spurs defense as well as highlight what has been working well to see what they can do to improve moving forward.
The data I looked at simply split opponent shooting by 2-pt and 3-pt attempts. Within each of these categories, we can dissect how each team’s opponents are doing based on 1) the distance of the closest defender, and 2) whether these shots are pull ups or catch-&-shoot jumpers.
