Rasho Nesterovic, because he protected Timmy like he did with KG at Minnesota.

Tiago Splitter. Strong screener, finisher, very very good post defender and rim protector. Legitimate lock down post defender of the era. Probably the best at his peak. Very strong defender in any era.

Super physical guy that deleted Dirk, Lamarcus Aldridge and Chris Bosh from series in a single run.
Swinging for the fences.

If you look at Splitter's on court defensive rating from 82games, it was really really good. Strong brazilian guy that outdid many centers. He unfortunately retired early, but his skill was really good at playing C.

Is the Rasho pick serious? I thought he was terrible.
