Pretty easy. Both were great post defenders though the man defense edge has to go to Rodman since Mutombo was not mobile enough to chase smaller men around the perimeter. However, a great shotblocker adds a defensive edge to his whole team, allowing wing defenders to play closer in and cutting off options for people other than his own man. Deke owns this one.
“Most people use statistics like a drunk man uses a lamppost; more for support than illumination,” Andrew Lang.
