How did Simmons come second he’s not even the best defender in his team

Ask Luka and Dame how crappy he is.

Simmons might be best perimeter defender in the league.

People power decides the poll. And the people have spoken.

Simmons indeed is an amazing defender.

Voted AD. Nominate FVV. That’s not a typo.

Embiid's pick-and-roll defense is not good.....Lure Embiid away from the paint, and you see.
BTW, last season Simmons was All-Defensive 1st Team.....while Embiid was not even All-Defensive.

Myles Turner isn't a superstar and plays on a team no one ever watches, may as well just remove him from this poll.

Very illogical response. Pause and think.

It's taken me some time to come around to really appreciate him, but I think Royce O'Neale is amazing.

He does a lot of little things no defense that add a lot of value, but as a man defender (which is his main role) I think he leaves something to be desired. He's kind of a B+ level defender across a variety of positions and much worse than that against quicker guards.

Voting Embiid again. He was #2 on my board, but I think it's understandable to vote AD or Turner. Turner would probably be #2 on DPOY list this season.

I think this is accurate. He's, IMO a top 10-12 perimeter defender, but that probably doesn't translate to more than about the 30th most impactful defender in the league (ish).

Skipped right over him, but maybe you should relax, lol. Everyone is looking to dunk on someone and I don't get it, it's not that serious :lol:
