What NOP allows by positionPoints, rebounds, assists and threes this defense has allowed to guards, forwards and centers a game, its place among the league's defenses (counted from whichever end is nearer) and how far that sits from the average defense. Soft or Tough: in the league's top or bottom third and 10%+ from the average defense. Leans: 5%+ from it. Average: closer than that. The window runs back into last season early in a year. History, not a forecast.History
