Who are the best young backcourt defenders in the NBA?

VanVleet. He's even better on ball.

Coby White and Zach LaVine

OG spent nearly 36% of his time guarding PG/SG this year per BBall index.

I think he should count as a backcourt defender.

[Pablo Escobar]

Dort might be the best perimeter defender right now. Dude is a tank also.

Thybulle isn't a good defender one on one but he's probably the best defensive playmaker the league has seen. Smarts defense is a bit overrated as well in recent years

Where do you get this assumption? Thybulle is very good one on one if anything players never dribble near him unless they have a screen ready

[God Squad]

The back court of

FVV
OG
Scotty Barnes

We got the Clamps badge on HoF

Watch out for Suggs and RJ Hampton. RJ had a growth spurt and is 6'6" now.

Shaq, One of the best defenders in the nba. Too bad his offense is the opposite of his defense.

He is a bit undesized, so that limits him against SGs, but yeah, he is excellent as a PG defender.

This is slightly OT but the upcoming backcourt of Hayes(6'5)and Cade(6'8) has a ton of potential to be very good. Hayes, in the limited games he did play exhibited very good defense, and Cade is sound defensively.

[Big J]

Ben Simmons.

[Statlanta]

Why are posters mentioning players that haven't even played in the NBA like Suggs and Cunningham

[Shooter Says]

Hunter and Reddish gotta be in the conversation. I remember earlier in the year the 2 of them had a great game couple games defending KD and Kyrie. They can guard 1-4, so I'm going to count them as backcourt.

Did you watch him in the postseason? Trae abused him over and over. Thybulle left the ground on what seemed like every single pump fake. He fouled guys shooting 3’s more times than I could track. He’s very overrated.
