Great article about how Milwaukee's defense has been much worse without him and obviously how much he has helped the Mavs. This was my favorite tidbit from it...

Opponents are shooting 49 percent on shots inside of five feet when Pachulia is defending, per NBA.com player tracking data. That's a respectable mark that's significantly better than outgoing Dallas center Tyson Chandler and barely worse than DeAndre Jordan, the big man Dallas really wanted this summer.
