With a wingspan of 7'2" and a sizeable weight of 230 pounds to go with his 6'8" frame, M'bah a Moute is one of very few players in the league who can legitimately guard all 5 positions for extended stretches. And he does that at a super-elite level for a Rockets franchise which is an offensive juggernaut, but would not have the best record in the NBA but for versatile defenders like him and PJ Tucker.
