Best Defensive Point Guard in the NBA?
I don't think there are any point guards who are Gary Payton type defenders who will shut their man down. For the most part point guards just take turn raping each other, but some of them have a good defensive impact.
1.) Chris Paul--gets on-ball steals but can also play the passing lanes, plays good help D, vocal leader on that end of the court, pesky and provides a lot of ball pressure, I think he has a solid case for being the best defensive point guard
2.) Jason Kidd--not much of a point guard defender, but is a big, strong point guard who is fundamentally sound and has quick hands so can legitimately guards 2s and 3s. He made Kevin Durant's and Dwyane Wade's lives miserable during fourth quarters.
3.) Rajon Rondo--I always though his D was a bit overrated. He gets steals by playing the passing lanes, although his freakish wingspan allows him to do it without gambling as much as others. He definitely commits on that end and makes life a bit more difficult for the opposing guard.

Chris Paul, people who think he does nothing but gamble and play the passing lanes know nothing about the guy and have never watched the guy played.
Rondo is more like that than CP3.

LOL @ the people being mentioned in this thread.
The best defender is Kirk Hinrich.

funny how DWill consistently has among the worst on/off defensive numbers, D-rating, or any other objective measure of PG defense and CP the best.
But he is bigger

CP3 actually is a pretty good defender. He gets a lot of his steals on man defense, not just playing the passing lanes.
