    Default Who do you believe are the best and worst defenders at each position?

    I'm trying to get into the draftkings scene and have a good general knowledge of the game but am curious as to who you guys think are the most/least exploitable.

    EDIT: I should have clarified, but I'm talking starters or players who play substantial minutes. Thanks

    Defenders or defensive players? If it's the latter (not strictly trying to lock down one opposing player):

    PG:

    Beverly (best)
    Tony Parker (worst)

    SG:

    Tony Allen
    Kobe Bryant

    SF:

    Leonard
    Belinelli

    PF:

    Duncan
    Not sure

    C:

    Bogut
    Al Jefferson

    I'm sure there are plenty of end-of-the-bench scrubs worse than the mentioned players, but we obviously don't see it. These are all big name players.

    You know, I think I remember seeing Kanter at the bottom of the metric lists (though this was about a month ago so it could have changed).

    I haven't seen a lot of Jazz games, but he is terrible. Snyder doesn't seem to like playing him from what I can tell.

    EDIT: also, I can't get behind the Dwight mentions. He hasn't impressed at all this season and there were a good handful of players better last year.

    Avery Bradley is so elite as a defender he has to be on there. Allen, Butler, Lebron, Davis and Gasol are probably the most consistent game in, game out. There's others who can have the odd incredible night.
