THABO SEFOLOSHA. B. . SG/SF. Utah Jazz

Thabo Sefolosha has made a career out of locking down opposing teams’ best players. That was exactly the reason he was brought in this offseason.

The Jazz front office seems to be stockpiling athletic, lengthy players with a knack for defense. Sefolosha has fit the bill all season long.

On top of his impressive defensive abilities, Sefolosha has shown the ability to knock down open jumpers, especially timely corner threes. He has been a great fit with Utah’s second unit and has provided priceless leadership to rookie Donovan Mitchell.

Many veterans seem to tune out up-and-coming rookies, however, Sefolosha has seemed more than happy to take Mitchell under his wing.
