Pre:
What do you guys think about defending with this hand? We have direct pot odds: 20%. We have the shortest stack at this final table and i feel folding that hand pre is a mistake because we need to capitalize all opportunity. Obv my plan is c/s when we gain some equity.

When villain do that what do you think is his range?

Pre: I think this is always an auto defend when we have 20+ BBs as you do. Totally +EV, especially against a middle position range.
Post: I think villain knows you have a c/s stack, caught a piece of the board wants to avoid a decision. That being said, if villain is balanced he/she should have some Jx in there as well if this play is made often. Tougher spot, and totally villain dependent. If you think he/she makes this play with the straight draw and back door flush, your 8 blocks the straights and you have middle pair. Probable villain has two overs (accounting for draws.) What are the payouts?? Barring anything weird, I probably stick it in.
You mean 20bb - ? Because i have like 16. I don't undestand why he have to overshove a top pair or overpair there. I don't see merit to do that, so i think his range don't have a lot of toppair there. But i want to understand other's opinion about that.
Payout are:
€4.597
€3.372
€2.540
€1.911
€1.304
€1.011
€787
€562
I meant to type around 20 BB, I counted it as 17 BB (just from rounding up). You should definitely be considering antes and such, but we are still not short enough to stop defending.
He doesn't have to shove an overpair, but I see some players play them like that against shorter stacks. The problem (for you) when he plays it like this is his range is wide open, meaning it could consist if some top pairs. You have to take into account previous hands, and your image and decide from there.
The first couple pay out jumps are large, and if you think you have a skill advantage over the other 2 short stacks, you could wait for a better spot if you so choose.
