A post about rebounding, and Stewart's name appears not?
 
Might be a hot take, but I'd probably go Hilton for third. Brimah gave up a few too many weakside dump offs challenging the ball handler too early for my liking. Brimah probably had the third most shot blocking talent though.
 
Also @Jkiller you did a good job with the presentation of this. It'd be cool if you did similar polls for different categories. Just something to think about if you're bored at work.

They didn't keep block stats back then but Toby Kimball probably had a bunch

Thank you :) I was thinking of posting more of these if there’s interest. 3-point shooting, steals and assists are some of ideas I’ve had
 
Emeka has amazing numbers but also changed the flow of the game more than I have ever seen from a single defensive player over the last several decades. Very cerebral too. An amazing basketball player but an even better human. So smart and brought UConn to a different level
IMHO.
 
Emeka was excellent and he is a solid choice no doubt. But I can’t even begin to count the times big men got rebounds versus Thabeet inside and threw them back out to the perimeter afraid to go back up with it. And guards and swing men went to the basket only to throw it back out it was a running joke. This is a tough one but Hasheem has the edge for me as the more intimidating of the 2. No one else is close.
