I think Detlef is better in a vacuum [assume you think the same].
I never thought of Rashard as a plus defender - or is he just not as bad?
I feel like Rashard was fine in Seattle when he was young and athletic while in Orlando he did buy into a system and was solid as a 4. He was a tad too slow to defend 3's but wasn't close to being poor.
Detlef had a similar trajectory but was able to blend in on talented defensive rosters in Seattle. His older years were some of his more impressive shooting seasons but his decline athletically was noticeable on the defensive end.
I dont see a large gap or anything defensively but Rashard gives more on that end while Detlef's advantage offensively was significantly more.
