Defensive Player of the Year

[Basketbolero]

There are a couple of people who more or less deserve it i guess (ibaka, hibbert, howard, lebron, noah, davis, jordan, george etc.), but NOBODY really stands out imo just like last year... hell lets just give it to Marc Gasol again...

This dude still in denial

[D.J.]

Easily Noah. And he also deserves a good amount of MVP votes as well.

Patrick Beverley.





























And it's not even close.

Not fair, you're just comparing him to the guy in your avy. We're talking league's best here

Noah doesn't stand out? What do you expect? Bill Russell?

Exactly, not a single guy stands out... its not very clear whatsoever, its not something like MVP right now (Durant stands out, its just very easy to see who will win it, guaranteed, understand?).... and Noah certainly doesnt stand out more than Hibbert and especially not more than Ibaka.... Noah didnt even get any type of DPOY recognition until Kevin McHale made that comment.

Their defensive ratings are 96 for Noah to 105 for Bran.. and its not like Bran is known for his man defense. Hes not on Noah's level at all. Its like comparing a 20ppg scorer to a 30+.

It doesn't work that way. Defensive rating is a product of team defense.

For example, Carlos Boozer's is 99, top 10 in the league among starters.
