Who do you guys have as the best wing defender in the league rn, I think Lu dort and Ben simmons is a good choice as well if he can stay healthy throughout the season, and underrated choices? Maybe some players who don`t get a lot of love for their on ball defence
I reckon Jaden McDaniels. But could be convinced on a couple other people.
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.
Og anunoby
I’m ready to watch Lu Dort play another year of all nba defense and get snubbed again
OG
McDaniels, Caruso, Dort, Thybulle. If we’re going purely by the data+eye test and combining the two, they’re the best.
Jaden McDaniels
Jarred Vanderbilt this yeat
Christian Braun according to Jimmy
Prime Kawhi is the best defender I’ve ever seen.
Right now tho, OG probably takes the title as best wing defender.
Andrew Wiggins, Giannis, KCP
Ben Simmons can’t defend his wardrobe choices let alone perimeter players lol
