Kidd has routinely guarded big PGs like Arenas and Billups as well as opposition's best wing players, especially down the stretch and done a commendable job, and he has no equal when it comes to help/team defense. I would take Kidd as the third or fourth best defender at his position considering his overall impact on defense.

Are there really any PG's in the league right now, that cant be considered quick?
