Best Isolation Defenders in the NBA (min. 60 possessions)
28.6% FG — Matas Buzelis (CHI)
30.6% FG — Andrew Wiggins (MIA)
31.1% FG — Nic Claxton (BKN)
32.8% FG — Naz Reid (MIN)
34.6% FG — Dean Wade (CLE)
This does not take in to consideration fouling but credit to Naz. He has been playing good ball lately.
Naz is in the 76th percentile defensively according to estimated plus-minus, which is pretty crazy considering historically how he's done. His defensive rating is 2nd to Rudy among the top 8 in the rotation. So the more comprehensive defensive stats are pretty positive as well.
