VIDEO: Trevor Ariza skies to erase Victor Oladipo's shot

The Houston Rockets chose to sign Trevor Ariza to replace outgoing small forward Chandler Parsons last summer, which was somewhat of a talking point at the time.

While Parsons has proven to be the more versatile offensive player, Ariza cost the Rockets half of what Parsons bartered. Plus, Ariza gave the Rockets an elite wing defender, a skill Chandler lacked. 

Here's a peek at what elite defense looks like. Ariza rose up to erase Orlando Magic shooting guard Victor Oladipo's shot attempt on Tuesday.
