I have been thinking about this for a while now, and there are a couple of options here. Rasho is obviously a good defender, Moon is a good defender, Delfino is a good defender as is Parker.
The question here is who is the best? Who brings the most defensively for our team?

Rasho, is the best underrated defender. Big Body. who rebounds and loves to alter shots and alter people when they drive at him.
Delfino and Parker so far got their defense overrated, or that they took a dip. Anyways its no longer there.
Moon aint really a defender, he is just a shot blocker. Chris Bosh lite, bad defense good shotblocker.

Are you actually saying that Bosh is our best defender?
No, I'm saying it's unfair to criticize him for not being able to stay in front of Thornton.

Right, it wasn't Bosh's fault when he didn't play him for the drive to the right which is one of Thornton's only offensive moves which he had already done several times. He played him too close, and basically gave away drives to the rim. It's not like he doesn't have the athleticism to stay in front of players like that, it's that his defense isn't that great.

I'd argue our best man to man defender is Bargnani, if only for the fact that he tends to guard 5's and has a significant footspeed advantage. Help defense is another thing, but man to man he's solid. Rasho is probably still a little better but they are quite similar in the way they avoid biting on pumpfakes.
Our best help defender is Jamario of course. I still think Delfino is our best on the perimeter. He seems to bother alot of ballhandlers by keeping his arms active.
