I think his defense gets a bad rap, unjustifiably. Just because he's such a tremendous offensive player, people automatically assume he can't play D, which in my opinion isn't true at all. But DPOY? Come on, people.

That's what I was getting at.. hes definitely a good defender but CERTAINLY IS NOT TOP 3!! I MEAN WTF!

+1

Chris Paul is an above average defender... not DPOY status but definitely above average

Pretty close are far as top 3 is concerned.

Official vote:
1. Kevin Garnett
2. Marcus Camby
3. Shane Battier

RealGM vote:
1. Kevin Garnett
2. Tim Duncan
3. Marcus Camby
4. Shane Battier

After nailing the top 3 in 6MOY and getting very close here with the exception of Duncan (who got screwed IMO), I think we're off to a pretty good start.

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how representative a slice of pie we are. I had KG, Battier, Duncan.
