In blocks per game with 4.0 and shares the throne with DeAndre Jordan from Los Angeles Mavericks.

my favorite line-up: rudy-favors-gordon-alec-trey
 
He probably leads the NBA, or is close to leading the NBA, in opp FG%

It's a blessing when you have a young player that consistently makes your defense so much better. Developing him into a full basketball player is another issue. I hope the Jazz and Rudy nail the job.
 
To add to the imposing Wasatch Front:

Favors is #4 in SPG @ 2.33 (He was #1 but the game he left due to "flu like symptoms" dropped him)
 
Its probably gonna take 4 blocks per game to lead the league this year. Whiteside is pretty much unstoppable out East, he's at 4 per game and plays like 4-5 less minutes than Rudy..

if Hassan keeps his fouls in check it's going to be tough, so far he's off to a good start.
 
This team is improving all over the place:

Favors is stealing the ball left and right. 2.3 SPG

Burke is shooting 46.9% FG and 50% on 3s for the season

Burks numbers are up across the board over career averages. Rebounds, assists, FTs per game, 3 point %, FT%, PPG.

Hayward's D looks improved this year.

Ingles is shooting 58% FG and 46.7% from 3

Gobert has upped his blocks and rebounds per game. Even over the last half of last season.

Overall the D as a team is better.

Snyder and staff putting in work, However, there is still plenty of room for improvement. Such as assists, pace, team FT%(!!!) and 3 pointers taken/made.

Kyle Korver is #11 on that list? Also, the Hawks have 3 of the top 20. I hope they tear up the East this year meaning... post season.

Interesting that Korver and Millsap were not seen as that good of defenders, yet they are doing very well so far this year.

Still, with all the positives we see so far, we are only 6 games in. I like where we are headed, but haven't planned the parade yet.

I have to say watching this brutal defense is lots of fun, I just wish we could keep up the D and score more at the same time. Raining 3's on Memphis was nice to watch and I hope they can keep it going.
