No Defensive Player of Year award for Draymond Green just yet.
Here’s CSN Bay Area reporting on versatile Warriors talent Draymond Green:

After finishing second in the voting for NBA Defensive Player of the Year, Warriors forward Draymond Green says he’s not angry. Disappointed? Absolutely. Puzzled? No doubt.
He would truly like to hear an explanation for such fluky, aberrant voting.
Green had more first-place votes than winner Kawhi Leonard (45 to 37) but lost the overall voting because he was completely left off 42 ballots.
“Now, I don’t understand that,” Green said Thursday morning. “I don’t understand that one. But it is what it is.”
Each voter lists three players for the award. Leonard, the San Antonio forward, received 332 points overall. Green finished with 317 points. Clippers center DeAndre Jordan finished third, with 261 points and 32 first-place votes.
