Best Defensive bigman?

Alright, most people think that Oden is the best defensive bigman in the draft, but I'm just wondering if everyone agrees with that.

Re: Best Defensive bigman?

Sean Williams has excellent defensive potential, but Oden has even more. Greg has nightmarish potential on that end of the court. I would say Brandan, although long and athletic, isn't on the same level defensively as these two.

Re: Best Defensive bigman?

How does Wright make that list over Horford and Noah....?? I would even say Durant is a better defensive player than Wright is at this point

Re: Best Defensive bigman?

No way Durant is a better defensive player than Brandan not even close. But yes Horford and Noah on the college level were pretty good defenders. I'd say Oden, S. Williams, Horford, Noah then Wright.

Re: Best Defensive bigman?

Wright has a crazy wing span, that can only help him on defense

Re: Best Defensive bigman?

most hype for Brandan was the great defender he could become, whereas Horford and Noah didn't seem to get as hyped up on the defensive end (mainly because they can actually do other things I guess.)

Re: Best Defensive bigman?

Its Oden and its not really close.

Brandan Wright is going to be a very good defender, I seriously doubt Durant is ever going to be a better defender.

Re: Best Defensive bigman?

I don't know who's blocks are more exciting, Oden or Williams's. Overall though, Oden's the best defensive bigman.
