Ten, Patrick Beverly

Beverly is a second-round late show, can play in the NBA on the ball to stay, Beverly paid a lot, ate a lot of suffering. He's 6'5" and obviously at a disadvantage on the defensive end, but Beverly's physicality and lower-body strength are so strong that opponents have a hard time getting right past him in the face of his mad-dog-like defense. Plus Beverly is always passionate on the court, every ball, never stingy with his physical strength, always close to the offensive player, always pestering the opponent, using various small tricks to combat the opponent, so that the opponent is annoyed, just like a mad dog stalking. Therefore, when Beverly was at the peak of his defensive state, he also entered a defense.

Nine, Peyote Jr.

Gary Patton II, hearing this name, NBA fans may immediately react to who he is, because his father glove Patton's fame is loud enough, but as the son of a famous player, Patton Jr. obviously did not get more attention, the 2016 draft conference did not read his name, after playing six preseason games for Houston was cut, he also had to go to the Development League to wait for the opportunity. But opportunity is always reserved for the prepared, and Patton Jr. seized the Warriors' 10-day contract and became an integral and important player for the Warriors with his hustle and tireless running on every ball.

Simmons, who was traded to the Nets, has yet to play, but with impeccable solo defense and switching, he will be the most powerful helper around Durant and Irving.

Seven, Kay Thompson

3 players are the most scarce in the NBA, but also every team needs, an extreme 3 player, for the top teams in the league, the significance of even more than some superstar players, Kay is such a 3 player.

Although returning from injury, Lay's athleticism has declined, but still has an excellent defensive sense.

In Robert's career, he was able to contribute 2.24 caps per game. In addition, Robert's defensive intimidation is not only reflected in the number of caps, because of his excellent physical conditions, he has the league's top rim protection, for the protection of the interior is far more than the data reflected, which is also the reason why he can be the best defensive player twice in his career.
