Who's the best defender at his position?

For my money, there's no one I'd rather have defending in the backcourt than Jevon Carter at WVU.
Jaren Jackson JR is the best defender in the nation imo. He might be the best defender Ive watched since WCS or something.
Mo Bamba erases nearly every shot around the rim and hes up there.

Texas paid good money for bamba. He must of been more than the 250k for Davis we paid. Best defender by far is billy Preston nobody has scored a single point on him. Dude is killing it
No kidding. Although Garrett will eventually be one of they very best in the nation. Maybe as early as next year.
You'd have to cheat and say Shane Battier, obviously no one on this year's Duke squad deserves to be in the conversation.
the ferocity with which nitewing defends iowa is unmatched by any of these defenders.
Jaren Jackson Jr. is the best defender in he country. And the stats prove it. 3.4 blocks, a steal, and people just plain as day don’t hotness when he’s guarding them. He also never gets lost or beat. It’s awesome watching him guard Maye and Bonzie, as he just neutralized them. (Bonzie got points but had a terrible shooting night, and also score very little on JJJ, more of our other guys.)
Michigan State's defense is elevated to a new level when Jaren Jackson Jr. is on the floor. Per Hoop Lens, the Spartans allow just .81 points per possession when he's on the court compared to .96 points per possession when he's on the bench.
He blocks 14.4 percent of opposing 2-point attempts by himself when he's on the court and lowers opponents' effective field-goal percentage from 42.5 to 36.9 percent.

Rex Pflueger is a fantastic defender for Notre Dame. He doesn't offer a whole lot at the offensive end for ND (roughly 9 ppg and 5 rpg) but he always defends the opponents best guard / wing.
Homer in me has to bring up Dakota Mathias. May not be THE best perimeter defender, but he is certainly one of the best.
Allonzo Trier: 8 pts, 3-10, 4 TOs
Deng Adel: 13 pts, 5-15, 4 TOs
Keylan Martin: 17 pts, 6-13, 2 TOs (much of his points came in garbage time and Mathias was giving up a lot of size)
