Here are the 10 toughest players to guard

Every team in the NBA has at least one player who's a nightmare to guard individually, but the best offensive players in the league get the job done consistently even when they're the specific focus of an opponent's defense. James Harden, PG, Houston Rockets Harden is the league's Seattle Seahawks Youth Jersey most difficult player to defend, thanks to a specific skill he's mastered better than anyone else. He is on track to lead the league in free throw attempts for a third straight season due to an uncanny ability to draw contact on his drives to the basket. And considering the fact that he knocks those foul shots down at a career rate of better than 85 percent, the efficiency with which he's able to score is simply off the charts. Stephen Curry, PG http://www.seahawksofficialsproshop.com, Golden State Warriors Curry has won the last two MVP awards for a reason. His speed and ballhandling skills allow him to shake defenders in the open floor, or blow by them for easy looks at the rim -- and that's before we even mention his shooting. Curry's range knows no bounds, and the fact that he's willing to pull up from 35 feet at a moment's notice constantly keeps defenders on their toes. Kyrie Irving, PG, Cleveland Cavaliers Irving's handles are the sickest in the game, and his ability to finish at the rim is second to none. That alone makes him a nightmare to defend, but sag off of him too much, and he'll just pull up on you and bury a three-point shot. Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder Westbrook ranking seventh only shows how deep the league is when it comes to its elite scorers. Whether due to lack of conscience or lack of help from his teammates, however, Westbrook can occasionally be goaded into taking a high volume of really bad shots. LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers James uses a combination of strength and athleticism to punish his opponents in one-on-one matchups. But he might also have the highest basketball IQ of any player in the game, which means defenders will need to match wits with the game's best player in order to consistently slow him down. Kevin Durant, SF, Golden State Warriors Don't believe the so-called official measurements. Durant is a legit 7-footer who can shoot it from anywhere on the floor, while also having the ability to blow by defenders off the dribble and get right to the basket. It takes a special player to come to a new team that was historically great the season before and immediately become its leading scorer, and that's exactly what Durant has done in his first season with the Warriors. Antetokounmpo, SF, Milwaukee Bucks Antetokounmpo's ball-handling ability at 6-foot-11 is what really makes him stand out, but the speed and athleticism with which he can get up and down the floor -- oftentimes http://www.seahawksofficialsproshop.com/Cortez-Kennedy-Jersey only needing a few steps to do so -- is equally devastating for those trying to stop him. The 22-year-old is averaging career-bests in points (23), rebounds (8.5) and assists (5.4) in his fourth NBA season. DeMar DeRozan, SG, Toronto Raptors DeRozan is averaging a career-best 27 points per game, which puts him at fifth on the list of leaders this season. In this day and age of analytics, however, when teams are shooting more three-pointers than ever, DeRozan does his damage primarily from the midrange --- he attempts just 1.7 threes per game, which makes Authentic DJ LeMahieu Womens Jersey the amount of points he scores that much more impressive. Isaiah Thomas, PG, Boston Celtics Thomas is third in the league in scoring this season at 29 points per game, and everyone knows he's the Celtics' primary option. And yet, he's become virtually unstoppable -- even though he stands just 5 feet http://www.officialrockieshop.com/authentic-9-dj-lemahieu-jersey.html, 9 inches tall. Anthony Davis, C, New Orleans Pelicans Davis has an array of post moves that make him tough enough to defend inside, but when he puts the ball on the floor or decides to pull up from three-point distance, an individual defenser has virtually no chance to stop him. The 24-year-old is averaging a career-best 27.5 points and 11.8 rebounds per game in his fifth NBA season.
