Smith: Raptors Best Defensive Five

I just caught this being mentioned over at the RGM. :D

Which 5 Raptors would you put on the floor if you were only thinking defence?

And Smith's response to that:

Quote:

WHo are they playing?
Seriously, there is no answer to these blanket questions. Their best defensive team now is Calderon, Jack, WRight, Bosh, Bargnani. That's as unit, not individually and I will not, and cannot, answer definitively, can't be done without knowing game, score, opponent, situation.

Agree or disagree? :confused:

I would pick Bargnani over Turkoglu. Evans is obviously a better defender than both... Now if only he could get healthy. Jack looked really good tonight by the way...
