More has been written about the Houston Rockets this season than in any year I can remember. Often, these stories include a trope line of how Daryl Morey loaded up on defense this offseason by getting P.J. Tucker and Luc Mbah a Moute to pair with Trevor Ariza for a killer, switchy wing rotation, which is true.
But the best defensive player Morey acquired this offseason is Chris Paul.
CP3 has made nine All-Defense teams in his career, including seven first-team appearances. These are not Kobe late-season honors: he is probably the best defensive point guard in the league.
