Who is challenging kawhi for next year DPOY?

[apalisoc_9]

Draymond aint winning it because of the superteam...

[tonight...you]

Dominos. There will be a groundswell of campaigning by Kerr, no mater how undeserved.

Hes not winning that award with Draymond playing for GSW. :lol

No, he won't, but don't put it past Kerr to still campaign for him even beyond Dray. They gotta resign that man after this year!
He's already touted him since the signing that he could be a top defender in the league.

I already said it would be undeserved also.

[tonight...you]

You also said challenge, not win.

THe media wanting to pick someone else

[Canyonero]

Harden

[elemento]

Gobert if healthy

[All Mighty Janitor]

Rudy Gobert, KAT, Draymond, and D Jordan(although he shouldn't be in the running).

[Kawhitstorm]

Gobert if healthy

I agree.

[TheGreatYacht]

Yeah, Gobert. That defense is gonna be good with GHill at point

[TXstbobcat]

Gobert or Hassan Whiteside could challenge for votes.

[loveforthegame]

Gobert if healthy.

[texbumTHElife]

Antetokounmpo

[JR3]

Gobert. Will likely be the best defender on the league's best defensive team.

[Johnsyounger]

Gary Neal.

[K...]

Danny green

[K...]

Tim Duncan plays one game, earns dpoy, retires again.

THe media wanting to pick someone else

This, tbh. We all know how the media gets...after winning it 2 years in a row, it'll be very difficult for Kawhi to win again, regardless of how well he plays or how strong the competition.

Gobert is my prediction. Utah could very well have the best defense in the league next year if they stay healthy, so naturally Gobert should get a lot of consideration since he's the best defender on the team. Just a matter of him and the team staying healthy.

THe media wanting to pick someone else

This. Voter fatigue is a real thing. He'll probably have to blow the league away in some statistical category to get it again.

[spursparker9]

Whiteside

[dabom]

Kawhi winning another 1.

[dafonearth]

I actually think that Kawhi has a better shot at winning MVP. If his production goes up again and the spurs are able to get the 2 seed, then I think he could beat out curry/durant. Maybe their media votes are split if it's not clear who is the man for the warriors. Only Lebron and maybe Westbrook would have a better chance.

[Kikoluna]

Kyle 13 minute mile Anderson

[siraulo23]

The Spurs have to be elite again defensively and have to be ranked high again, probably have to be #1 in team defense rank for kawhi to win again

If its a close race between kawhi/draymond/gobert etc... they wont give it to kawhi 3 years in a row

[K...]

Kyle 13 minute mile Anderson

Mip and 6moty............

[siraulo23]

Draymond aint winning it because of the superteam...

i think if the warriors rank well defensively, draymond's gonna win it

bogut/ezeli gone, he will get even more credit for their defense

[Darkwaters]

Whiteside. Blocks have always been over weighted in DPOY considerations. Ref: Ben Wallace
