Everyone in the NBA, especially OKC Thunder fans, realizes Luguentz Dort is one of the best wing defenders. At just 22 years of age, Lu Dort has already made suffocating defense his calling card. The 2020-21 season was only his second season in the NBA and he was already sniffing at an All-Defense team selection.
Dort was ranked 3rd among guards who missed the All-Defense teams in the 2020-21 season behind Mikal Bridges and Marcus Smart.
