I remember being very surprised that DFS was NOT one of those few players on the list honestly but it was basically guys like Draymond, Bam, Giannis and then...Grant Williams.Hmmm, sounds to me like BOS, being a switch heavy team, has the opposing guards wanting to go at GWill as opposed to DWhite and company. I could be wrong, but I haven’t seen anything that would suggest he can guard quick players. I think he’s really good guarding bigger/slower ones though.
EDIT: just looked it up and it was 11 players who guarded all three player groups (guards, forwards, centers) for at least 750 possessions per second spectrum.
Edit: The list also doesn’t sound like it ranked the quality in which the players guarded those positions.
