Defensive Player of the Year

[Legends66NBA7]

Nobody gives a **** about defense stats.

Dwight Howard, Dikemebe Mutombo, Ben Wallace...

All those guys won DPOY at least 3 times, combined 11 times, because of their individual defensive stats in rebounding and shot blocking. That along with their team stats and opposing fg% allowed.

Noah and Jordan should be the top candidates.

I meant advanced d stats. Should have clarified.

True.

Just took a glance at Noah and Jordan's advanced metrics, both are leading their respective defensive criteria for their teams anyways (Defensive Rating within their team and lineups and defensive win shares; not that I use them for my criteria). Not going to really bother with RAPM or Real +/-. I think the voting won't really come down to many of these advanced stats.
