Who is the better defender overall?

Garnett
He had a better peak, prime, and general defensive longevity. I don't think it is fair to compare any wing defender to what KG accomplished.

I don't like when someone says 'X easily' but KG easily.
The conversation we should have is to what degree Kawhi is overrated as a defender (new Englemann data and his actual defensive resume post-2016).

Relative to positions, I'm taking Kawhi

Peak to peak in today's game? Kawhi has an argument at least.

Relative to position played? Yeah, I'm still probably taking Garnett.
Irrespective of position played, it's not overly close, imo. That guy who has the best career DRAPM in the quarter-century+ existence of the metric?.....that's the guy.
