Best defensive Billiken Guards

We've had more strong defensive guards than you think.

Macauley and McCall were very similar.  They would guard the pg usually and once that guy gave up the ball they would never get it back.  Other guys would get steals because the other team was forcing passes to whoever they were guarding.

1 on 1 just shutdown on ball it goes Fisher, Redden, Jett, Frazier, and Biles.  Thatch is working on getting on this list.

Mitchell was really underrated defensively.  We just forget about Lisch I think.  Lisch was maybe the best all around Billiken guard ever.  Played the highest combined level of offense and defense night in night out.

Another underrated guy was Jeff Leuchtefeld.  His Sr year he went up against the opposing teams best player every night, he was a ballhawk.  Leuchtefeld went from walk on to All conference for the season, not just an all tournament team.

Roder was nice, he's been mentioned.  Pee Wee Lenard too, he was flashy and made some mistakes 1 on 1 he was very tough to score on, especially against a bigger guard.  He was picking pockets if the player he was guarding was over 6'2.
