#9 Andre Iguodala - Golden State Warriors

Andre Iguodala

Ever since being drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers, Iguodala has had a reputation as a lockdown defender capable of also taking on assignments who were mismatches for him in terms of size and speed. This was because of the raw athleticism which he still possesses to a fair degree.

He meshed into their lineup instantly and succeeded in cobbling a 14-year (and ongoing) career off the strength of his defensive contributions - even as he improved by leaps and bounds on his offensive end.

By the time he was crowned as the Golden State Warriors' Finals MVP in 2015, Iggy's career had come full circle as he put up a stat line of 16.3/5/8/4.0 while coming off the bench and holding LeBron James to a sub-40 field goal percentage for his first Finals series since 2007.

Iguodala has a defensive rating of 101.4 this season.
