Rudy should be frontrunner for DPOTY right?

[NUMBERICA]

For a comparison Hassan Whiteside is

4th in the NBA in Blocks
4th in the NBA in Blocks Per Game
5th in the NBA in Block Percentage
5th in the NBA in Defensive Win Shares
4th in the NBA in Defensive Rating
Not even in top 20 for Defensive Box Plus/Minus
3rd in the NBA in Total Rebounds
2nd in the NBA in Defensive Rebounds
4th in the NBA in Total Rebound Percentage
2nd in the NBA in Defensive Rebound Percentage

Doesn't seem close to me.

Proof he's out chasing blocks more than he is D-ing up to win.

If Golden State can keep their top defensive rating (or at least they were last time I looked) with KD being out then I think that pretty much secures the votes for Draymond.

5. Anthony Davis
4. Paul Millsap
3. Kwahi Leonard
2. Rudy Gobert
1. Draymond Green

If Rudy Gobert does not win this award I will have to contact the authorities to report a robbery. That's all I have to say. At this point it's not even a close race.

There is no stat for Rudy's affect on the game through intimidation. People in the know, know.

Of course there's no stat for affect. You just have to look at him:

On the contrary, this guy has some pretty bad affect:

I saw something during last night's game that listed Rudy 5th in DPOY voting. Blew my mind.
No way that is right. Are voters that dumb or out of touch?

That's where he finished last year

I know ESPN did a poll with about 50 of the actual voters at the all-star break and Gobert came in 2nd behind Green.

Yes

 

[Coach Ellis]

He's going to have to kill someone before they give him the respect he deserves. Not a single more impactful defender in the game. The fact that his offensive game is now showing exponential growth is amazing. His hands are better. His pick and roll is better. His passing is better. And his decision making is better. Legit effing franchise player. Imagine if he's a 20/10 player next year. . . monster.
