The Oklahoma City Thunder boast one of the best defenses in the NBA this season, aided by the efforts of the team's star.
As of Nov. 19, Mark Daigneault's team boasts the top defensive rating in the league at 102.8 and is second in opponent points per game at 103.5. Players like Alex Caruso, Lu Dort, Jalen Williams and even Chet Holmgren, who is now injured, receive credit for their defensive efforts, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has also been one of the team's top defenders over the past few seasons.
Gilgeous-Alexander is having another solid season on defense, averaging 1.2 blocks and 1.6 steals per game. The seventh-year veteran has recorded at least one block in 10 of the Thunder's 14 games this season and even notched a pair of three-block performances against the Denver Nuggets and Atlanta Hawks.
