Although RPP includes all tracked defensive actions, there is no methodology as of yet for adjusting RPP for hidden or untracked defending, such as man to man defending that forces missed shots. Therefore, you should, in order to fairly evaluate the following ratings, remember that the better defenders have done some more for the team relative to the lessor defenders than the ratings are showing.

Wow, Chris Paul practically is the Hornets by himself! What can you do? If you press and double him, his assists go off the scale. If you zone up, his scoring goes up. You can hardly stop the CP3. And damn, it's a good thing Larry Brown didn't switch Chris Paul to 2-guard. One such switch was more than enough, thank you.
