Then he was traded to Detroit and his DRtg dropped 10 points to 96 (7 better than the league average) for the next 26 games. Don't know if Mike James really improved his defense that much, or he just got put on a better defensive team.

When your surrounded by better defensive players, they make you a better defensive player, thats all I see from this.
But yea Im not too enthralled by this stat but I like the guy who created it, seems very eager to learn and never stops looking for ways to improve upon it.
