The Defensive Impact of Single Season Spikes in Metrics

This chapter discusses the topic of single season spikes in defensive impact metrics, using Mike Conley's 2013 season as an example. The speaker raises suspicions about such spikes and highlights the influence of team performance and player co-dependence on these statistics. The concept of multi-colonarity, where it is difficult to differentiate individual player contributions within a lineup, is also explained using the example of the Indiana Pacers.
