Place all the current Warriors players in order based on their defense from best to worst.

  1. Draymond: Best and most versatile defender we have.
  2. Bogut: One of the best rim protectors in the league, also one of the reasons our wing defenders look so good on paper.
  3. Iguodala: Our best wing defender - our best answer to LeBron & KD on the defensive end.
  4. Klay: His defense isn't as elite as it used to be but he is still tough as nails. He takes pressure off Curry by defending bigger & stronger PGs down the stretch. Also, his defense fuels his offense.
  5. Ezeli: Uber-athletic C. Great blocker. Heir to Bogut's throne.
  6. Curry: Underrated defender overall. Gets steals without gambling too much. He is a deceptive defender, most players end up bricking their shot because they think it's the perfect miss match.
  7. Barnes: Can defend big 4s like Randolph, good rebounder for his size. He doesn't get as many blocks as his athleticism may suggest but he holds his own.
  8. Livingston: Adds versatility and depth to our ever-switching defense. In the last game against OKC, he defended KD well during long stretches. Ron Adams loves his length and quickness.
  9. McAdoo: Just got back from injury, hard to gauge him due to his lack of minutes. However, whenever he played consistent minutes - he gives good effort on D. Sometimes, that also equals to him getting very quick 3 fouls in 5 minutes. Not reliable, unfortunately.
  10. Rush: I like his on defense. He occasionally gets blocks and steals but he gets beat by quicker SFs on the regular.
  11. Barbosa: Compared to his pre-Ron Adams career, he made big leaps towards being a more reliable defender. However, his size for a SG can be difficult at times against bigger guys. He gets bullied a lot.
  12. Speights: Worst defender we have. He is in for the offense and nothing more. If he gets a defensive stop, somehow, it's a big deal.
  13. Looney: Rookie coming out of a hip surgery. Not enough data.

Second place is Miami with 123. [Coyne] This will be Joel Embiid’s 14th missed game of the season. Just one player in NBA history has missed 12+ games and still won the MVP award that season - Bill Walton in 1977-78, who missed 24 games. Stephen Curry is now averaging less than 1 steal per game for the first time in his career [Goodwill] Does race play into MVP voting? The conversation has gotten toxic and out of hand, but consider this: the NBA posted an hourlong highlight vid of Austin Reaves' best plays. Yes, that Austin Reaves. Race is always part of the convo [Highlight] Kyrie Irving with an absolutely disgusting layup vs the Grizzlies [Zach Lowe] The league has rescinded Giannis Antetokounmpo's 10th rebound last night--and thus his triple-double, sources tell ESPN.
