Top 3, regardless of position are Donovan(1st), Hasheem(2nd) and Emeka(2A).  These guys just changed the whole game on the defensive end.  Opposing teams entire offensive game plans ( cept Illinois, but we know how that worked out) were seriously altered just by them being in the game.  As Dickie V said, I think speaking of Thabeet, “Thou shall not enter thy lane.”  For me these 3 are unquestionable as the top 3.  Thabeet was more imposing, although Emeka was the better one on one defender due to strength.  Donovan was great at both.  Final 2 for me are Castle and Moore. Just exceptionally talented and fierce as one on one perimeter defenders. Second team gets murky for me, so I’ll say Boatright, Taliek, Adrien, Adama, and Burrell.  Lots of room for some others.  Maybe Amida, Shabazz, Jackson, Nadav, Diarra, Dyson, Tyrese, Sellers, Whaley probably others.  Just a thought reading the comments:  I think some are letting offensive output work in analysis as tiebreakers/added pluses in a defensive exercise.  It’s best defensive team, not who you’re starting a team with.  Obviously completely different takes.  My list is positionally independent, more like a first team All  American list than a starting five.
