Wilt Chamberlain
Let's go down the list. No scrubs that barelly play.
Jeff Teague is pretty good imo and his player tracking stats are awesome. But hawks trap a lot on pick n rolls so that kind of inflates his stats. Still he looks good from what I've seen but his defensive real plus minus is trash.
Isiah Thomas has nice numbers on player tracking but bad plus minus stats. From the eye test he tries hard but is too small to be elite.
Kemba Walker - stats and eye test show he is much improved and above aberage but not great.
Rose - stats and eye test, below aberage this year.
Kyrie is trash.
Delly is really good but he is almost a scrub and has trouble with really quick guys like Wall and Russ.
Deron - haven't seen enough this year tbh but from what I saw and stats, he is average.
Mudiay is a rookie, has potential on that end but is horrible for now.
Reggie Jackson is average at best
Steph is actually pretty good plays really smart D. Gets a lot of critics on that end but bball breakdown just dropped a 12 min video showing him playing great D. Stats show that he is elite at his position. He got killed by Wall/Westbrook types but who doesn't? He may be the best rn actually
George Hill no
Beverley kind of overrated on that end
Plays really hard one on one but because of that gets blown by and called for fouls. Also often out of position on team d.
CP3 - great team defender. A little undersized, hasn't commited as much to D this year because he has to do so much on offense. Half the coli apparently thinks he is trash.
Russel -
Conley - is ok but overrated on this end, low effort start of the season, falls asleep on rotations. Started to pick it up but got injured.
Dragic - his D stats are close to elite and every time I've watched he has been terrific this year. Has the size and good quickness, maybe a little overrated due to Whitesides help D.
MCW ain't great but bucks are hard to judge because of that funky D
Rubio has great D plus minus and is a good team defender but they are so young and play such bad D as a team he is hard to judge
I've seen him get dominated a lot in one on one situations. Partly due to bad team D
Calderon
Jrue has been solid in the past but terrible this season.
Elfrid shows flashed but still learning.
Westbrook doesn't get out to shooters, goes under screens to much, too many risks for steals and rebounds. Lazy D but potential is there
Ish is trash
Bledsoe been out
Lillard is trash
Rondo is trash
Parker is ok but great team D makes him look better than he is. His player tracking and plus minus numbers aren't great. Patty is better but not elite.
Lowry is pretty good, is a candidate. His def plus minus and player tracking are good but not off the charts. Similar story on eye test.
Shelvin Mack ????
John Wall is amazing one possession, falls asleep the next.. Could be number 1 potentially but inconsistent effort and lack of focus and mentality hurts him
Basically TL:DR:
Steph Curry and Goran Dragic are prob the best defensive PGs in the league unless I Missed someone. With Wall, Lowry, Teague and Delly also being pretty solid.
