It is surprising to see the DBPR, but the box DBPR is not even close and well in favor of Maliq. One thing to keep in mind is that this is in half as many possessions for Eddie and the games that he's played so far have been mostly the non-con teams while Maliq's was for a full season and all conference games.  Also, if you look at the Box DPBR, Maliq blows Eddie out of the water. There's a reason why he was coveted by Duke and this season he's 4th in the ACC Box DBPR despite limited minutes. When he plays, he's an outstanding defender.

Secondly, if you look at the definitions for the stats, the DBPR "rating incorporates a player’s individual efficiency stats and on-court play-by-play impact, and [I]also accounts for the defensive strength of other teammates on the floor with him, along with the offensive strength of the opponent’s players on the floor."  [/I]Whereas Box DBPR [I]"[/I]is an estimate of a player’s defensive value, [I]based only on his[U] individual[/U] box stats" [/I]To me, that means that Eddie's teammates make him a capable defender this season (I think this is related to Eddie being paired with Donnie Freeman as a PF in the paint while Maliq was paired with Justin Taylor).[I][/I]
