This guy is just plain wrong. These rankings are ridiculous.

"Another approach is to use plus/minus statistics to measure how a team defends when a player is in the game. If, for example, the Nets consistently defend better when Jason Collins is on the floor, regardless of who is on the floor with him, then we would have to conclude that Collins was a good defender. And it doesn’t matter if he ever got a steal, block, or defensive rebound. Or what his reputation as a defender is. "

So when the rest of the Nets play good defense, and Jason Collins messes up left and right, he's a great defender.
And Joel Pryzbilla is a better defender than Shaq. Ok Dan, lets get a grip on reality.
