I thought this stuff was already decided really, like NBA does those straw polls but I thought they were with basically the same voters and it was Gobert by a wide margin. I just straight up assume it is Gobert. Didn't think there was even a mystery to it. I hope I'm wrong. Would love for him to be in the mix.
Yeah, from what it sounds like most are voting for the best defender on the best defense which is lazy way to vote. I think if you replace Gobert with Wemby or Bam Minnesota would be an even better defensive team and also much better offensively.
If you remember last year, J.Jackson Jr had that reddit post on getting a bump on his stats at home which was a compelling enough subject that the voters actually looked into it and with that were exposed to more of his game and probably received some recency bias by looking at so much of his defense vs watching the other defensive players as much. Bam needed something to push the voters to look at how good he really is on defense.
