I was wondering where these posts had gone. Turns out u/CoveredInBillsScars got suspended. Not sure what for but I felt like Double Nickel Big Roy was fairly overwhelming in the last post for best rim defender.
Gerald Green
All time, PG.
For their era: Roger Brown
Going Gerald Green. Dude had crazy hops and was a monster dunker.
Gerald Green or that one-in-done kid from UNC that didn’t stick.
Over his entire time, PG. For one glorious year, Oladipo. That man was terrifying.
Bender, he was an athletic freak and had he’d stayed healthy there’s no limit to what he could’ve been,.
Obi Toppin
I know recency bias here but Obi might be one of the most athletic dudes in game.
Roy is our best rim defender? Myles Turner breaks the franchise blocks record a few months ago and Roy is our best rim defender? What are we doing here?
My man Obiiiiii
Fred Jones
easily Paul George
Its Johnathon Bender
I’m on the Obi train. Dude gets up and down the floor so fast, won a dunk contest, and continuously shows us how incredible he is as a high flyer
Dale Davis. Dude was crazy. Took the jump balls even with Rik Smits on the team. He wasn’t the best at anything (despite being the Pacers all time rebound leader), but he was everywhere.
Sumner
All time young PG
PG and it’s not really that close.
Obi one
Kenny Williams who played for us from 90 to 94
Cassius Stanley
Depending on how impactful you want this pacer to be changes the answer.
I’d go PG for a big name, but real talk it was Cassius Stanley. Didn’t get Playing time though, but the verticality and bounce was like something out if a cartoon with him
Feel like PG needs to be on one of these and this one makes the most sense. But seems like we’d rather nominate journeyman Gerald Green.
