This is too easy, sorry.



The New York Knicks.

[CreaM]

Peja
Eddy Curry

[Jemini80]

if you think zach randolph is even half as bad of a defender as eddy curry then you don't know basketball.

[NDaATL]

I think Zaza Pachulia takes the crown on this one. Lue is up there as well.

[revprodeji]

Gerald Green should be on this list. He has all the physical tools but the awareness of Paris Hilton at an academic lecture.

[Cammo101]

Pat Garrity is terrible.

[Hard2dhole]

Boozer is pretty pathetic on D.

[MagicFan3]

Jameer Nelson.

[NetsForce]

Amare is definitely on this list.

[The_Believer]

Nash

[BrooklynBulls]

I'm only going to label players that have played this season, and played very significant minutes, say 25 or more. In no order:

Eddy Curry
Andrea Bargnani
Allen Iverson
Mike Dunleavy
Andres Nocioni
Michael Redd
Zach Randolph
Jamaal Tinsley
Troy Murphy
Ricky Davis
Steve Nash
Jamal Crawford
Juan Carlos Navarro
Mike Miller
Joe Calderon

That list looks good, but AI is a decent defender.

That list looks good, but AI is a decent defender.

I really don't understand people who think that. He does ONE thing well: get into the passing lanes. He does not contest jumpshots, block shots, rebound, get back on defense to stop the transition, take charges in order to protect the paint, play within a set scheme, stay in front of his man. He's small, light, and expending a ton of energy on offense. And if he wasn't all those things, he still wouldn't be a good defender because he wants the steal more than he wants the missed shot.

I hate Jamison's D with a passion. But with his improved rebounding, and his effort (no doubt due to the contract season), he missed the cut.
