Top 30 Best Defenders in NBA History

26. Draymond Green

Draymond Green’s work anchoring the Warriors defense has been a crucial factor in them becoming one of the greatest dynasties in the history of the NBA. Standing at just six-foot-seven, Green is able to defend seven-foot centers due to his defensive tenacity. Green has already been named the Defensive Player of the Year once and has been on four All-Defensive teams. If he continues to play defense at this high level, Green will find himself much higher on this list when his career is over.
