Why LeMatador on the list?

I would advise posters to be careful in participating in this guy's threads. He can be a totally disrespectful to posters, as he feels it necessary to talk down to posters he disagrees with, because it's his thread. If u want examples u can take a look as recently as his last one.

Because LeBron is currently 2nd in drtg. Only Gobert is better than him.

Embiid, Turner and Giannis are the next three after LeBron.

I don’t understand Embid as #3 defensive player in the league.

How about Embiid at 4th?

Because he actually got voted as 4th best. Not 3rd.

LeBron's been pretty good on defense since AD joined the Lakers

Vote Draymond Green. Anthony Davis doesn't deserve this vote. He hasn't been that impressive this season defensively. Come playoffs that'll probably change though.

I nominate the guy who ranks 3rd in D-LEBRON, 12th in D-RAPM, 13th in Def RAPTOR, 2nd in Steal %, and 2nd in deflections per game while posting a -9.0 Def On/Off. Larry Nance Jr. He's been legitimately awesome on defense, and the defense collapsed as soon as he went out with injury.
