Fwiw, the lineup data disagrees with you. When Cousins was on the court during that stretch his team improved massively on defense.
STOP% is a boxscore stat.
DRAPM is a lineup based plus minus stat.
They are independent of each other, meaning DRAPM does not consider boxscore stats at all.
He ranked highly in both which makes it way more likely he was actually an impactful defender.
Boogie was known to do some dumb shit on the court, but essentially the positive stuff he did on the court outweighed it. STOP% is just considering steals/offensive fouls drawn/blocks, but its important to note he was also a really good defensive rebounder for a center which also gave him some value on that end.
Some wild names in here lol. Boogie popped up a bunch and he was not a good defender.
