2141325, Is there such a thing as good point guard defense these days?

I can't think of a guy there right now outside of Bledsoe who is legitimately a great defender at the position. And Bledsoe is a guy who is stronger than everyone else, as quick as anyone, and only has to play 15 minutes a game without full playmaking responsibilities (Crawford, Odom, and Hill help him out there). CP3 keeps getting on All-D teams despite the he's practically a sieve letting guys to the bucket, though he does get a lot of steals which is valuable. Guys like Rose and Westbrook have all the ability to be great defenders but have a ton of offensive responsibility on the other end and don't give the same value on D.

It seems you pretty much get credit for not being outright bad like the Nash's and Calderon's of the world. Am I right?
