I don't think so...unless you define "great" as average or pretty good

if you define great as "elite" then obviously there won't be many people elite at both

i think mike conley is a great offensive player and his defense is elite...most people wouldn't include him, though

ya, i avoided elite...I still think there aren't many that are very good on both ends.

I thought about Conley...he's on the edge for me


...not sure if great=elite, but I didn't mean it that way.

Westbrook isn't great on defense WTF

Takes waaaay too many chances. And I'm a huge homer of the Thunder.

Kemba Walker is great on both sides of the ball. Underrated player IMO.

ETA: Conley is a good choice too. Another underrated PG.

Father Time has taken away much of his lateral quickness, but his footwork usually puts him in position.

Kawhi Leonard does yeoman duty both ways. Not elite yet, but solid on both ends of the floor.

Leonard isn't great on offense.

Not yet at least.

He's still playing...

ETA: I dropped him. You'd have to include a young Duncan too if you're going to do that.
