2. Marc Gasol, no debate

3. Jaren Jackson Junior.

   Marc was a better overall defender but by definition of “rim defender” I’m going with the better shot blocker at the rim in Trip.

4. JJJ

5. Gasol is the best big man defender we’ve ever had, but for pure rim protection it’s triple J, honestly Pau was a pretty sick rim defender as well

6. So is Mike not going to be on this list? Where is best teammate?

7. Definitely JJJ

8. https://preview.redd.it/u5047x4wt6qd1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d12c42f73fe586e6b5089d6da44690a0a66d5e7

   This dude

9. Parsons was the most annoying don’t do Dillon like that! Best rim protector had to Be Marc

10. JJJ… for now….then Edey

11. This one can only be JJJ

    also whoever lined it up so Day 12 is for 12, props to you 🫡

12. This really depends on what we count as rim defender.

    Help rim defender it’s Jaren for his shot blocking, but 1v1 in the paint with no help it’s Marc all day and anybody saying Jaren didn’t watch Marc play. There’s more to rim protection than just blocking shots

13. Marc Gasol

14. Jaren is the better rim protector but Marc is the better interior defender

15. Hasheem Thabeet tied with Hamed Haddadi

16. Tony Allen and Dillon brooks would’ve been a mess 😂😂

17. Bismack Biyambo
