2× All-NBA4× All-StarDefensive Player of the Year9× All-Defensive

The defensive quarterback and emotional engine of the dynasty, still elite enough at 36 to draw down-ballot DPOY support. He won't score (8.4 points, 32.6% from three) but he orchestrates everything — 5.5 assists from the elbow, switchable rim and perimeter defense — even as the turnovers (bottom-percentile ball security) and the spacing remain real costs.
