Best Perimeter Defender Between:

Moncrief's defense is overrated. He was a help defender, not man to man. George Gervin lit him up during his 50 point game against the Bucks in 82. He also defended the two guard position when it was not the premier position(before MJ). Who did he shut down, Otis Birdsong?

How was he overrated then? Help defense is more impactful than man to man...

All of the defenders on the poll were great man to man guys including Squid but I digress.

Moncrief shut down 4 time All-Star and 1 time All NBA 2nd Otis Birdsong, yes. And there were players that went off against him; Gervin was a threat to do that to anyone, anytime. But he was more a man defender than a help guy. He wasn't a big steal/block guy though very switchable 1-3.

I'll take 69-70 Frazier (6.4 DWS | 113 TS+), 81-82 Moncrief (4.5 DWS | 112 TS+) and 15-16 Kawhi (5.5 DWS | 114 TS+) for the perfect inter-generational mix of lockdown perimeter defense on one end & hyper efficient scoring on the other end.

I'm mad that I didn't include Walt Frazier who gave Jerry West everything he could handle SMH.

Also, I didn't include SF's in this discussion but that would have been an interesting poll though!
