he is a good enough athlete and strong enough to be a horrid matchup for undersized/athletic guards.
From my LBBIQ lenses it looks like Tay has a much flatter trajectory to his jumper than Will or Rod. Any HBBiQ'rs confirm?

I asked this question awhile back on a similar challenge to 'Tay's crown, and someone (MiR?) said Shane. I laughed for a good 5 minutes.

oh, btw, i lolled for a good five minutes that you think the crown would be irving's if it wasn't southie's.
Jesus Christ there is basically no difference between any of them. Any argument on "who's the best defender" boils down to Martavious's muscles and Spradling's skin color. Just brutal.
Tay and Angel get a few steals. Gruds gets a few less. Basically nobody else gets any. Steals are exciting, and nicely quantifiable, so there is my list of best perimeter defenders.

Steals are exciting, and nicely quantifiable, so there is my list of best perimeter defenders.The thing about Frank's defense it has an amazing ability to force TOs without getting a lot of steals. Frank's first three years his teams forced steals at a decent pace, but never better than the Top 115 in the country. The last two years not even in the Top 200 at forcing steals. But every year we force teams to turn the ball over nearly 1 out of every 4 possessions, 2 of those years as one of the Top 25 teams in the country. Teams are more likely to throw the ball out of bounds (or draw a charge) than they are to get the ball stolen from an individual defender, so its hard to judge individual K-State players or K-State teams based on steals. JMHO.
I like when angel gets out there and gets up in someones face to steal the ball/get called for a foul/get blown by. he is very aggresive.
