The Arizona Wildcats sport one of nation’s best defensive units. Tommy Lloyd has compiled a group of like minded players who communicate and play with intensity on the defensive end. Ivan Kharchenkov has gotten a lot of love for his defensive skillset. Jaden Bradley is known to be an elite on ball defender, Brayden Burries has improved as a defender throughout his freshman season, Koa Peat’s elite athleticism allows him to be super impactful, but Motiejus Krivas may very well be the most impactful defender in college basketball.
