Why weren't Leonard and Green in the voting for the players awards DPOY?

[JerrySeinfeld]

These are the nominees that were selected, just to be in the list that the players could vote on

Best Defender
• Tony Allen, Memphis Grizzlies
• Jimmy Butler, Chicago Bulls
• Anthony Davis, New Orleans Pelicans
• DeAndre Jordan, Los Angeles Clippers

DeAndre Jordan over Leonard and Green? :biggums:

[KendrickPerkins]

They're not popular enough maybe?

Who knows. The whole player awards/BET shit is such a joke.

[JerrySeinfeld]

If thats the case then Tony Allen wouldn't be on the list over them. The real head scratcher is Jordan being on the list. I can think of a handful of guys who could be on there over him.

Internet posters questioning the players on who's a great defender :lol

This guy JerrySeinfeld must know his stuff. He clearly knows more about the game of basketball than the players that actually play the game for a living.

Nice gimmick bro.

Harden wins players choice awards and you completely change your tune.

Wow, you're a respectable and credible person. I mean, everyone takes YOU seriously, right?

Wait, no one does... so shut the **** up and let teh big boys talk, runt.

Shouldn't you be studying for your GED since you dropped out of high school?

[JerrySeinfeld]

Actually I guess reading up more on it, I think that they were in the voting, just didn't finish in the top 4.

He finished 3rd in DPOY behind Kawhi & Draymond Green in the real voting.

Dion Waiters is James Harden with better defense - OP

Kawhi is not a DPOY-level defender.

I've seen so many guys drop him off... I remember watching Nic Batum do a one-dribble pull-up on Kawhi where Kawhi was contesting hard, but Kawhi was nowhere NEAR altering the shot.. Batum had an easy pull-up on a hard-contesting defender... (Yes - I imagined MJ doing the same easy pull-up and I shook my head)..

Then I saw Blake Griffin take Kawhi off-the-dribble like it was nothing.. Kawhi doesn't have elite footspeed.

I think they base the dpoy awards on stats, like RAPM or some garbage.. I think that's why Gasol got it.

The thing about RAPM, is that it cannot project how a player will perform alongside players that aren't on his team.. RAPM has a very limited use and is mostly ineffective... It has virtually nothing on a seasoned eye test that knows what to look for.
