    I know PG is part of the perimeter, but when I ask this question I'm thinking of guys who can defend the 2 and the 3, therefore I am excluding our PG's from this poll.

    Vote and discuss.

    Parsons, and it's not really close. Brewer if he played, but he doesn't.

    Now this says more about our swingmen than how good Parsons is, but he always gets the tough assignment.

    Brewer.

    Among players who are regulars, I want to say Parsons. But he hasn't been the same defensively the last few seasons.

    Harden. Even he does not play defense often, he still contributed more than the guys in the poll.

    Parsons. Brewer seems to have an annoying habit of helping out too much just like Lin and gets lost ball watching sometimes.

    Rockets need length on the perimeter. Guys just shoot over our guards at will.

    After the job we saw Garcia do on Durant in the 1st round I'm surprised he isn't getting more votes. Why is Parsons the better defender?

    Prior to February of last season, I would have said Lin by a mile.... But now, I have to say Pat Beverley.

    Is Brewer really that great of a perimeter defender? Sure, I mean at one time he was. But has anyone really seen how his defense is now? Anyways, looking at this list when considering defense makes me want to throw up. Its like asking if I would rather be killed by a chainsaw or an axe.

    I think if Brewer was given more burn he would be our best wing defender. Everyone needs to get acclimatized. Parsons has really regressed in that aspect.

    Parson is easily the best. Everyone forgets that in his rookie season Parson was basically known for his defense.
