OG
Andrew Wiggins, Giannis, KCP
Jrue or Marcus
Bro these are guards defenders not wings
tell me u ain't talking bout marcus smart bro 💀
Neither have ever locked up anybody
Both too undersized
First thing that comes to my mind is OG and McDaniels. Next tier would probably be Wiggins, Herb, Dort. I would put stars like PG, Kawhi, Jimmy on a different tier too.
Mcdaniels, think he still has room to grow too
Og anunoby
trae young
Trae Young DPOY candidate this year, too bad the media hates him
He’s not a wing at all. He’s a paint protecting center as we’ve seen in the playoffs
Smh my head at least someone on this sub knows ball
OG. He can guard 1-5 legitimately.. even Jokic
OG and mcdaniels both to be first team all-defense this year.
I know advanced stats aren't the be all and end all but just look at mcdaniels and tell me he isn't a top 5 defender.
I Love barres vanderbilt Ik I spelled his name wrong
Goddamn I butchered that
Jaden McDaniels
Jarred Vanderbilt this yeat
Anthony Davis
Ben Simmons can't defend his wardrobe choices let alone perimeter players lol
OG
According to B-ball Index, Jaden McDaniels has the best perimeter isolation defense and ball screen navigation grades in their 10 year database.
He also had the biggest jump in perimeter isolation defense from last year and is ranked the best in the league.
Filtered down to wings, McDaniels is the right most outlier on this chart, and this is while being 99.6th percentile in matchup difficulty.
Prime Kawhi is the best defender I've ever seen.
Right now tho, OG probably takes the title as best wing defender.
I’m ready to watch Lu Dort play another year of all nba defense and get snubbed again
Trade request James Harden
OG Anunoby no question
OG
Christian Braun according to Jimmy
How has nobody said Mikal Bridges yet
McDaniels, Caruso, Dort, Thybulle. If we're going purely by the data+eye test and combining the two, they're the best.
Picking out of these guys seems reasonable: Dort, OG, McDaniels, Bridges, Brooks, Himmy, Caruso, Herb, Kawhi, AD.
I feel like you have to pick from Herb, McDaniels, Brooks, OG, Jrue and Dort. The others I could see an argument for, but probably not the best.
My homer take is that AD is probably the best overall defender and most versatile. I don’t think anyone does as well at defending the rim, being a help defender, wing stopper, and can switch and hold their own like him.
Did Aaron Gordon not just win us a ring ?
Og by a mile
I reckon Jaden McDaniels. But could be convinced on a couple other people.
Thybulle Herb but tough offensively. Mcdaniels Dort OG best for 2 way playability.
