    I would put OG in there, and probably Herb and Mobley.

  2. ChamberDavs

    Meh… Giannis can’t guard quick guards that well

  3. FreeDaReal1z

    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.

  4. 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….

    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.

  9. haha-brad

    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.

  11. celticsmenace

    Mobley will be in this class very soon

  12. DrBigChicken

    Ben Simmons if he’s healthy and playing

  13. fuckdansnydeer

    Ben Simmons is the archetypal, 1-5 defender. He’s also a better perimeter defender than Bam and Giannis.

  14. Jmills14

    It’s AD or Ben Simmons.. During the bubble he guarded Dame, Harden, Butler & Jokic.

  15. bigbossstepback

    Precious Achiuwa is definitely one after what I saw in the playoffs

  16. Hostile_Pierogi

    Precious lowkey deserves a shout, he was locking Harden up one possession then shutting down Embiid the next
