I just wouldn’t put Scottie as best perimeter defender. i couldn’t tell you his percentage of being the PO defender, but he was not as active on every play as some people seem to wanna remember him as. i would put Jrue, tony allen, moncrief (2 DPOYs and never gets mentioned) and even a guy like draymond over him. i would maybe argue gary payton but i think scottie clears due to versatility. scottie was great, and was great for several years which puts him ahead of others, but imo he’s more in the convo for cracking top 5 perimeter defenders.
