Top 25 Best Defenders in the NBA

24. Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant has made a name for himself on the offensive end of the floor, as he may be the best pure scorer in the league. Still, Durant has been more committed on defense ever since coming to the Golden State Warriors.

With Golden State, Durant has had to play more minutes defending the paint then he ever did with the Thunder and he has responded to that role. Last year, Durant averaged a career-high 1.8 blocks per game.
