Re: #9 Greatest Defensive SF - top 10 defensively all-time project
I want to vote Kirilenko but the combination of Deng's defensive stats and superior longevity just seems a tough argument to overcome. And, the team results argument I find convincing as well. So, despite the fact that he wasn't even a guy I was considering a candidate for top 10, I find myself voting Luol Deng for this spot. Hopefully I won't regret it too much.

Thru post #21:
Luol Deng - 5 (trex_8063, iggymcfrack, Dr Positivity, Bounce_9, penbeast0 [reluctantly])
Kawhi Leonard - 3 (cecilthesheep, Samurai, lebron3-14-3)
Andrei Kirilenko - 1 (kendogg)
Calling it for Deng.
