“Me…Draymond and probably Giannis, three guys who can literally guard 1-through-5 and be effective.”
– Bam Adebayo

I would put OG in there, and probably Herb and Mobley.
Meh… Giannis can’t guard quick guards that well
Does Giannis guard 1s?
Anthony Davis
Bam cannot guard little guys
None of this is even true.lol
I never seen Draymond/Giannis guard a pg for an entire game.
Ben Simmons is probably the only player who can legit do this.
Bam and Giannis can’t guard small guards, even Draymond is at a point in his carrer that he can’t keep up with that despite being much more switchable than the other 2
This may not be current, but LeBron a couple years ago was more true statement than Bam, Draymond and Giannis is now. Again, not what he said, just passing through….
Ben Simmons
I would change guard to switch
OG can legit guard anyone
Probably AD belongs on this list too right?
Evan Mobley regularly played at the 3 and had to switch onto guards when we ran our 3 7 footer lineup last year
I know people clown Ben, but he could keep up with players 1-5 no? He was freakishly fast and used his arms well.
Simmons. Draymond cant guard 1s anymore
Ben Simmons and JJJ fit the description imo
The only player I have ever watched who could truly guard all 5 positions at an elite level is 2014-2017 Draymond.
Mobley will be in this class very soon
ad mobley and maybe jjj too
Ben Simmons if he’s healthy and playing
Ben Simmons is the archetypal, 1-5 defender. He’s also a better perimeter defender than Bam and Giannis.
It’s AD or Ben Simmons.. During the bubble he guarded Dame, Harden, Butler & Jokic.
Jeremy Sochan
AD when healthy
Ahahahahahaha ok
Precious Achiuwa is definitely one after what I saw in the playoffs
julius randle
Kawhi
Yall sleeping on Beef Stew 😤
Precious lowkey deserves a shout, he was locking Harden up one possession then shutting down Embiid the next
Herbert Jones.
So humble
