NBA DEFENSE VS POSITION

This page collects and calculates the average statistics allowed by each team by position based on 48 minutes of playing time and then ranks the defenses from top to bottom. For fantasy purposes, the worse the defense the better. This is not what an individual player will average, but rather what players playing the position have combined to average to help identify positions of weakness.
