Kawhi leonard because he is by far the best defender in the league!
Who and why?
Kawhi leonard because he is by far the best defender in the league!
Should be Kawhi, but it'll probably be DeAndre ing Jordan, tbh..
Draymond isn't that bad of a pick either, but we all know this isn't going to the most deserving players ( kawhi and draymond)..this will go to Jordan.
^back to back truth bombs
The Starters on NBATV chose Draymond. Their four candidates were Draymond, Jordan, Gobert and Gasol.
Don't listen to those guys.^back to back truth bombs

Gobert has been the best defensive player in the league IMO, but he hasn't played enough to warrant the award..
Who? Kawhi...
Why? Because he's the best defender in the league...
The Jordan talk doesn't make sense to me outside of the usual hype based on raw, antiquated numbers IMO..
There has been an abundance of Chris Paul-defense talk, along with the Jordan hype, yet the Clippers are the 16th ing ranked D in the NBA
Dwight Howard's Orlando teams were loaded with terrible defenders, yet they still finished in the top 3 every year due to Howard's presence(which is what people are arguing in favor of Jordan), for example..
HH has it right
should be kawhi
will be Jordan
what if the pelicans make the playoffs... then davis?
Why have these kinds of polls on a team forum? It's like asking Okla s who the MVP should be.
Pelicans have the 22nd ranked defense in the league and one of the worst interior defenses in the league, despite having Asik at C and Davis at PF, tbh..would be an even worse choice than Jordan..
Funny that you would say that....
Ever notice Oklahoma looks like a pot used to cook meth?
The thing is..Kawhi not only is an elite defender at the most important position, he can also bring it on the other end too against the guy he's guarding to wear them down when they try to run offense against him.
Gobert is a lock to win it next year if he stays healthy, tbh, hopefully Kawhi can get his this year..
The hype can carry over into the following year, see: Tyson Chandler in 2012, winning an undeserved DPOY due to joining the Knicks + the impact he had on the Mavs' D the previous season..Gobert is fully deserving, though, he's a lock for next year IMO..
Not sure about that since they play in a tough conference. Jazz Record will probably ruin his chances, imo.
They're going to be a playoff team next year IMO, and Gobert's metrics are ridiculous..opponents are shooting 39% against him inside IIRC..
Their D will probably rank in the top 5, if they stay healthy..
i agree... really like their frontcourt of Gobert-Favors-Hayward, and Hood looks like he can be a good 2-guard (role player though)... they're still weak at the point (Exum and Burke
NBA should cancel the award, in that case. Clippers are trash defensively and he is overrated. He's above average but not elite defensively imo.Should be Kawhi, but it'll probably be DeAndre ing Jordan, tbh
Kawhi by a landslide. DeContract getting it would just cement the award as a completely useless "Who Stat-Padded the Most Regular Season Blocks and Rebounds" Award.
Biased but Kawhi and Green are the two that deserve it most. Maybe Kawhi's 24 minute 7 steals game will turn some heads. If Kawhi had played 10 more games then I would feel better about his chances.
