This interested me so I did some digging on how Drtg is calculated and what it means, especially in a zone.

Although the formula is very complex, there are specific flaws to a zone defense and for guys that play limited minutes.  Also, heavily dependent on overall team defense during the players time on the floor.

I found a pretty good summary here with the explanations of its usefulness and flaws.

Anyway, I love advanced stats and often try and figure out which ones are more valuable than others and why. I don't think this stat is a very good one overall for our zone.

Edit:  After I posted my response I read the debate on advanced analytics and Drtg. Its good to know there are others that like to take the dive on what they all actually mean and there reliability.
