Maybe this is a suggestion but if there is a way to help first that would be appreciated.

Is there a way to see if your opponent switched defenders by looking at the results of a game? I know by watching a game and reading the text you can easily tell who defended who so it is not "Secret" information. Can we add something that shows who they defended? How hard is this to pull out via BBAPI?

I have a spreadsheet I'm working on and would like to incorporate a defensive mechanism to it but have no way of automating it.

Other thoughts?

I think it's a good point now that we can assign players to defend different positions. In some plays you see "player X goes up for a layup, guarded closely by player Y", so at the end it's probably not too hard to show how many times each player was defended by each opponent. But I think it's trickier when it comes to zone defenses, because a player attacks the zone and isn't defended directly by an opponent

True. I'm thinking this is more in regards to pulling data out via BBAPI.

Basically I want to know how many shots that person defended and how many went in.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what does BBAPI stand for? I agree it could be interesting. In the same way that you look at shooting percentages to see how good a player is when attacking, this stat your proposing can give us an idea of how good they stand defensively. As individual stats, collectively we have game ratings
