Incredible Bam Adebayo defensive sequence, should be uncontested DPOY

Wasn't moved at all.

He's obviously in the mix, but not uncontested.

The most impressive defensive player I've watched this year is Giannis quite frankly.

Giannis is the most versatile defender in the NBA, and in a sport where versatility is increasingly the difference between winning and losing in the playoffs I wish it was valued more on defense. We're still stuck in this old school mindset where rim protection is held in such high regard compared to any other defensive skill, and it's important to have good rim protection for sure, but it's no longer the be all end all.

I don't buy the premise here.

well thats handy, cause i aint sellin it. its a fact.

I think Bam Adebayo should easily be considered the DPOY this season.

I understand that Giannis or Gobert are playing well too, but I think Bam should easily be the winner this season.

The Raptors have 3-5 players that can do this.

Scottie
OG
Pascal

Boucher

Not sure whats so special about this.

Boston too
Smart
Tatum
Brown
Timelord
Horford
Grant Williams

I don't think it should be easily anyone. I think Gobert, Steven Adams, Robert Williams, and Jarrett Allen have a say in that award.

And you left by far the best defensive player in the league off your list so kudos on that I guess.
