With the implementation of the new rules of the league this season, everyone dares to reach out at the three-point line, and also dares to exert confrontation, which also makes the league's overall defense improve compared to previous years, in fact, no matter what era, defense is crucial, that year a defense to win the championship is more than everything, the top stars in history, Jordan, James and Kobe Bryant are all offensive and defensive players, and today we will take stock of the strongest defensive players in the five positions actively.
Ben Simmons
Although the West has not yet played this season, even if they are often spat at because they do not have the ability to do three points, it is undeniable that Simmons' defense is really good, he is one of the few players in the active squad who can play from first defense to five, 2.11 meters tall point guard, and faster than most guards, from here you can also see how talented Simmons is, Simmons is undoubtedly the best defender in the point guard position.
He was ranked second among last season's best defensive players, and so far in his career he has been named to the defensive team twice, he has also won the steals king with an average of 2.1 steals per game in 20 years, and he has averaged 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks per game so far in his career, which is why Simmons still wants him even if he does not fully realize his talent.
Holliday
Although Holliday played the No. 1 position in the Bucks, but he was a two-way guard, in the Pelicans period more played the No. 2 position, Holliday can be said to be the most mobile defender, fast enough, and the strength and defensive skills are sufficient, Lillard and CJ were locked in by him that year, last year's Finals was precisely because he limited Paul very well, which allowed the Bucks to win the championship, Holliday although he could not defend multiple positions, but now among the small players, he is undoubtedly the first person to defend.
Career so far 2 times selected for the best defensive first team, 1 time selected for the best second team is very good, he has had a single season average of 1.6 steals 0.8 blocks per game performance, career so far averaged 1.5 steals per game 0.5 blocks is still very good, the future RonzoBauer, the current Holliday may be his best development object.
Leonard
Although the small card is reimbursed for the season, there is a high probability that he may return in the playoffs, but there is no doubt that Leonard is the best defender on the front, he is stronger than Durant and George, to borrow Jordan's words: "I may not be able to score points on this child's head", from here can also see how good Leonard's defense is, strength, prejudgment ability, defensive skills are top, and the arm length, the hand is large, he has everything to become the hard condition of the top defense.
Career so far 3 times the best first defense, 4 times the best second defense, and 2 times to win the best defensive player, that is, in recent years, xiao ka injuries plus his load management, otherwise his honor may be more, sometimes hinder the key to achieving greatness is health, I hope that xiao ka can recover health as soon as possible, and then return to the field.
Alphabet brother
Giannis is one of the few players in the league besides Simmons who can say that he defends five positions, his height is also 2.11 meters, looking at the alphabet brother who is the same height as Simmons, suddenly feels that Simmons is not fragrant at all, the alphabet brother is more leadership temperament, his defense is also top-notch At the same time, he can use his own cover to motivate his teammates, this is a good leader, the alphabet brother is only 26 years old, maybe he can compete for the first person in the future.
So far in his career, alphabet brother 3 times the best first defense, 1 best second defense, and a best defensive player award, for now, the letter brother is a full explosion of thick eyebrows, I hope that thick eyebrows can work harder, otherwise the gap between the letter brother and him will be getting bigger and bigger.
Gobert
In the league, a person can support a set of defensive system is estimated to be only Gobert, before him was the peak Howard, driven by Gobert's excellent defense, jazz for many years in a row into the playoffs, we can find that without Gobert jazz and he is not a level team at all, 2.35 meters of arm span, 2.16 meters tall, and very flexible, he has all the conditions to become a top defender, 5 best defense, 3 best defensive players, very good.
