Who are early DPOY candidates?

And who is/are favourite(s)?

Giannis, Bam, Thybulle, Gobert, Draymond, Jackson Jr., Jarrett Allen, Mobley, Bridges, Rob Williams.

These are the top 10, ranking them is really tough.

i think Bridges makes an all-defense team finally, but I don't expect him to win DPOY.

Is the DPOY criteria typically viewed differently to the MVP award when it comes to availability? As I’m finding it strange seeing Draymond in all these lists, when he’s played 34 games this season…

Draymond has been getting more credit for their wins than Curry for some reason in certain quarters, don't ask me why.

Yeah it’s laughable hearing people suggest Draymond is more important to the warriors success then Curry.

OKC mop crew a little too low, but otherwise that looks good.

Should be Gobert. Early on Draymond was competition, but he's been disqualified for a while due to missed games.

Bam should be in top 5.

Robert Williams III, who was late to his first two media availabilites after being drafted

You know, I don't think Jokic is going to win, but considering that he doesn't really rack up basic defensive stats, his DBPM and defensive rating is undeniably good.

LivingLegend · Post #18 » by **LivingLegend** » Mon Mar 7, 2022 1:03 pm

Well if DRTG has anything to do with it

1. Gobert
2. Jokic
3. Allen
4. Horford
5. Embiid
6. Giannis
7. Mobley
8. Doncic
9. Paul
10. Tatum

Gobert, Giannis or Bam.

Will gobert get it or will there be voter fatigue?

Gobert won’t win it this year as he hasn’t done enough to clearly separate himself from the rest of the pack especially considering he’s won it 3 times already.
