Topic: Defense vs. Position

1 Topic by damdaman
Hi, I'm curious about this stat... I was reading this article:
https://rotogrinders.com/articles/nba-first-look-thursday-november-5th-946040
And got to the Defense vs. Position section. I noticed the Mavericks listed as 30th vs. PF, so I looked at Charlotte's PF (Marvin Williams) on FC. FC has Defense vs. Position listed as 3rd. I could understand the calculations varying a bit based on how they're calculated, but the extreme difference between the two calculations has me wondering what would explain this?

Thanks for any insight!
Not sure their exact calculation, but it looks like they are using last years data and we have switched to only using this years data. We also use a relative strength vs absolute.

Edit: No, I see I read that wrong they are using this years data. I would venture a guess as they may be using absolute values vs relative values.
