This All-Defense member reveals 2 toughest NBA players to defend

Cason Wallace, an All-Defense member of the Oklahoma City Thunder, has revealed the two toughest NBA players to defend against. Speaking on the Cousins podcast with Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter, Wallace named Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as his top target. The two-time MVP, renowned for his efficiency and ball-handling skills, has been a key player for the Dallas Mavericks.

Wallace described Gilgeous-Alexander as one of the league's most challenging defenders due to his ability to score in various ways. The second toughest player Wallace mentioned was Kyrie Irving, a two-time MVP who is expected to make a significant impact with the Mavericks this upcoming season. Despite missing the entire previous season due to a torn ACL, Irving is now expected to be a major factor in the Mavericks' push for a playoff run.
