I've read that Mudaiy, Cauley-Stein Stein and Stanley Johnson are good defenders, but any other prospects that show they are hard nosed defenders coming into next year's draft other than who I listed?

rondae hollis-jefferson is the best defensive prospect in the draft imo. smothering defense with an outstanding motor.
myles turner projects to be a shot blocker. has terrific timing.
justise winslow if he declares. solid, strong defender who can defend either wing position.
porzingis projects to be a mobile back line defender and shot blocker.
kelly oubre has tremendous defensive tools. great size, length, competes on that end.
caris levert has really good tools for the 2 as well. quick feet, long arms.

I sometimes forget about Chris Walker but he is a long defender who will be getting serious minutes in Florida this year under Coach Donovan. With his upside I could see a shot blocking force with a limited offensive game going into the 2015 draft. Possibly lottery bound. He's 6'10'' with a 7'02'' reach and massive hops.

A few other: Dakari Johnson-C, Kentucky and A.J. Hammons-C, Purdue
