Rules of the project:
1) As you can see, this is a project about the ten best defenders in each position. In this ranking, like in any ranking of this genre, we consider the entire career or the players. Now, if you tend to give more importance to peak, prime, longevity, level of defense in higher level teams, or any other type of criteria, you can obviously do it.
The point of the thread is not "Who are the ten best players at defending ROLE X (in this case, at defending PGs)", the point is "Who are the ten players considered as ROLE X who are the best at defense"? Now, if you view the fact that a certain player considered in a certain role in certain seasons defended more ROLE Y players as a minus in this ranking, I don't know how that makes sense, but nobody can decide for you.

2) For the players whose role is not certain, we settle it before moving on with the next position. We did it before the PGs rankings, we will do for every other position.

3) You have 48 hours since the start of the thread to express your vote (preferably bolded), at the end of the 48 hours, the player who has more votes wins. Anybody can vote. If at the end of the 48 hours two or more players have the same amount of votes, we proceed with a run-off. The run-off will last for 15 hours. Anybody BUT the members who already voted for one of the partecipants in the run-off can express his vote in the run-off. If, at the end of the 15 hours, there still are tied candidates, the first player to have other 3 votes will win the run-off. Late votes were never counted and will never be.

If you need any other claryification, just tell me.

Thank you guys for your partecipation

Please stop notifying me. As interesting as this project sounds, I simply don't have the time to contribute to it.

[Dr Positivity]

Vote Tony Allen

Voted for him last time. Statistical and visual evidence of more dominant impact than the other candidates here

[Gibson22]

I'm surprised that Michael Cooper got #1 vote at this point. I tought he had a chance to be #1

[bondom34]

Hi guys, if anybody wants me to stop notificating him about the project, please tell me

Same, please stop notifying. I don't know enough historically to comfortably vote.

[cecilthesheep]

It was a tough, tough decision between him and Michael Cooper, but my third-place vote goes to Tony Allen. His minutes are low, but impact stats LOVE him, and he is alone among a lot of these players in that his defense is pretty much the only reason he stays on the court at all. I wish I could put him and Cooper in a tie for third, but since I have to choose, I'm going with Allen.

[cecilthesheep]

I'm surprised that Michael Cooper got #1 vote at this point. I tought he had a chance to be #1

I've been within inches of voting for him each time, but his combination of relatively low minutes and underwhelming advanced impact stats (neither PIPM nor WOWYR seem to love him) lost him some tiebreakers, this one being the closest. I'll likely be voting him fourth.

[ElectricMayhem]

Same as last time, Tony Allen is my vote.

[mdonnelly1989]

I wish their were votes to see how close this was. IMO

1A. Tony Allen
1B. MJ
1C. Moncrief

Then slight gap

[GYK]

Alvin Robertson very easily

[Samurai]

My vote is for Michael Cooper. He was a 5-time NBA Add-Defensive first team member and 3 times on the second team, winning DPOY in 87. He used a combination of length and foot speed to defend the other team's best player, such as Jordan, Dominique, Dr. J, or Bird. His versatility allowed him to defend PG's, SG's, or forwards.

[OdomFan]

Joe Dumars

[Lost92Bricks]

It should be Tony Allen, but you guys penalized Nate McMillan in the thread for PG's because he didn't play enough minutes...

[bledredwine]

Voting Michael Cooper

[Gibson22]

Voting tony allen: already explained my reasoning, but basically in my opinion it is between him and cooper, I have tony as the best and at this point especially nobody has a lot more minutes than him between contenders

Going with Tony Allen. Has the best metrics of the metrics era, and has better awards than any serious candidate other than Cooper where it’s still close. If Cooper doesn’t fare great by the primitive impact stats we had in the ‘80s, I think you’ve gotta take Allen.
