Post#1 » by falcolombardi » Sun Apr 17, 2022 8:08 pm

if you had to make a purely defensive list who would make it into your top 10?

russel, wilt, hakeem, robinson, mutombo, duncan seem clear choices,

alongside those 6 there is garnett, bill walton amd for his era mark eaton as other clear ish top 10 picks and i suppose someone like nate thurmond, ben wallace, ewing or draymond green (?) may round out the top 10

who would be your picks?

Hakeem , Russell, Wilt, Duncan, Robinson, Garnett, Draymond, Ben Wallace.

Just off the top of my head but this is about the order I would have them
