Ben Simmons strengthening his case for Defensive Player of the Year

[whatthe]

Don't underestimate the northeast media influence. Gobert is a generational defensive talent. But Simmons could have the media's ear.

They are confusing versatile with dominate. Simmons sure is more versatile but Gobert is more dominate.
End.
Of.
Story.

Seriously... this guy is hilarious. He chases awards harder than he does Kardasians. I feel like DPOY is close to buttoned up and it ain't Ben ****ing Simmons. He ain't even the best defensive player on his team.

Remember it’s the media that votes for this stuff, and they have a preference (and desire) to lean a much different way that we do.

Yeah but campaigning already is some weak *** ****... especially when your case ain't that good.

Gobert is still the betting favorite by a considerable margin. I don't think we need to get too worked up about Simmons trying to promote himself. He wasn't even 2nd on the site I looked at, Myles Turner was.

This shouldn’t even be a thread.

#%^* outta my face with this.

I would be on board with it, because he's done well, if he wasn't just such a twerp

Word is he is the front-runner for rookie of the year too.

He's having the best season of any 5th season rookie I've ever seen so I mean you kind of have to give it to him.

He should also start campaigning to get into the 3 point contest.

Simmons is one of my favorite players to watch. You can trash on his shooting all you want but the guy is a hell of a basketball player and a joy to watch.

I don't like him purely based on the times he opens his jackass mouth and says jackass garbage.

He's also a kind sized douche
