If you want to get really technical, you could look at the players averages. Most players should at least 30% from the field at their low point so keeping an opponent to about 5% shooting is more impressive considering the larger comparison scale.

what you guys are thinking is the rate by accounting the number of attempts. what u got wrong is u assume that who ever can't score with 8 attempts will get 1 in if he attempts 17. thats not correct. if the defense is good, even if the opponent tried 17 attempts, he wouldnt score a single point. so the rate of 0/8 <> 1/17. if u do the maths, the rate of 0/8 is not even possible hahaha.

I don't think this can be taken out of context. It needs to be applied in context in order to be "better or worse".

If a player shoots 1-17, yet his team mates are shooting well, then it's more beneficial than 0-8 and vice versa.

If there were unlimited shots taken, then it wouldn't matter how many shots he missed, keeping a guy -08 will be better than 1-17 (purely because he scores 0 points compared to 2). But given there are only a limited number of shots available in a game, keeping someone to 1-17 shooting is more beneficial than 0-8, purely because if he shoots it 17 times, that's 9 shots he has missed that someone else could've taken. Or, as iwen pointed out, that's 9 more 'empty' possessions.

firstly, its 1-12 attempts not 17.

But, if those 9 shots were given to the player that can't hit 0 out of 8 attempts would it be different? he may miss that 9 shots as well. We can't ASSUME that a player that has blocked out 8 shots can't block out another 9 shots.

You also can't assume that he's going to miss them
