The Defense thread 2024 (Final DPOY vote)
Posted: Wed Nov 1, 2023 2:36 pm
A safe place to Discuss Defense, DPOY, all-Defense, and to highlight players and teams getting it Done on the less glamorous enD of the court.
No one cares about offense anyways!
Don't get maD if your favorite DefenDer isn't in the poll (cough* Ausar Thompson fans, apparently), but Do make an argument for why your favorite DefenDer should be incluDeD. There are only 9 spots and we change the poll options 3-4 times over the season. There's no way to squeeze every elite Defender into 9 options, so smash that "other" and tell us what's what.
Others I wanteD to incluDe in the initial poll: Brook Lopez, Draymond, Gobert, Embiid, Claxton, Jrue, Smart, Myles Turner, Chet Holmgren, Ausar Thompson, Herb Jones, Aaron Gordon, Jarett Allen, Poeltl, Mikal Bridges, Ben Simmons, Derrick White, Tatum, DFS, Patrick Williams, Jeremy Sochan. Tell me who I'm missing.
