Noah wins Defensive Player of the Year; Kawhi comes in 11th, Duncan in 13th

I watched all 82 Suns games this year and PJ Tucker is their by far the best defender. (Bledsoe goes for steals a lot which often breaks down their defense... this is not a great defence imo)
He also played extremely hard every single game - haven't seen him coasting.

He is not worthy of winning it or anything but he definitely deserved some votes out there; I don't understand the outrage about him.

Noah deserves it. He's a beast. GO GATA!

Nene, tappin' dat azz.......

DeAndre Jordan is 3rd in defensive WS, behind Noah and George. Seriously, that's what with all the DeAndre Jordan votes. Jordan is the best defensive player on any offense first team. Last year Marc Gasol was the solid #2 (behind George) yet isn't in the top 20 this year. The media was right last year and right again this year, if you add a downgrade to all individual Pacers due to total team defense, It looks like the media has adapted to advance stats nicely and are not paying attention to flashy defense as they did before last year (see Ibaka).
Kawhi Leonard belongs in the discussion for all defensive team, but I'd downgrade Leonard's excellent per minute to honorable mention by noting Leonard's lack of minutes. You gotta play to win.

I don't give a . DeAndre Jordan is not the 3rd best defensive player in the league. Laughable.

DJ is an extremely overrated defender, he's low IQ, punked by any big with a jump shot and doesn't protect the rim....

Out of all the votes placed, that was the one you chose to select as a ludicrous decision... more so than PJ Tucker? Classic ploto.

Everyone knows I cannot stand Bill Land.
