Forming The Ultimate Defensive/Hustle Team

[OhioBobcats]

To vary things up this year, I'm planning on starting an association and then trying to form the absolute best defensive team I possibly can. I am talking about long, athletic players at every position. Blocks, steals, etc. While guys like Lebron James and Dwight Howard are obviously great defenders, it would be a tad unrealistic to just get the best defenders out there.

I was thinking of starting my franchise with the Nuggets since they have some nice pieces that fit what I'm going after (Iguodala, Faried, McGee). I'm open to other teams too (would love to have Anthony Davis on my team).

Anyway, who are some role players who you find really fit that mold? I've always like Batum's game, World Peace could probably fit a role, etc.

Taking offense into account (you have to score) I think this would be your best bet

PG - Mike Conley
SG - Iman Shumpert
SF - Andre Iguadala
PF - Anthony Davis
C - Joakim Noah

I was going to go with an Ibaka, Davis Front court tandem but I thought they might be a little too short. Some bench players you might want to consider are

PG - Jerryd Bayless
SG - Avery Bradley (Starter IRL so you might need someone else)
SF - Kawhi Leonard (Might get away with bringing him off the bench)
PF - Kenneth Faried
C - Chris Anderson

Just my opinion.

Off the top of my head...Id pick up

Jrue Holiday (plays both ends like PG should) or Brandon Jennings (instant offense & hustle)
Paul George or Michael Kidd Gilchrist (both can defend 1 - 3 & create shots/handle the ball)
RudyGay (could replace Iggy. Better jumpshot IMO)
or Nate Batum (cheaper not as much offense)
Anderson Varejao (hustle/long/cant defend guards on P&R)
/Ibaka (or a similar shot blocker)
Joakim Noah (good on both ends but limited offense. good passer and sometimes pushes the break)

If you’re going for blocks & steals, Andrei Kirilenko and Josh Smith can fill up the stat sheet in defensive categories.
