beekay414 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 9 hours ago, the lone star said: Yeah, I think he will ultimately win it tbh. Eh, I doubt it. I think it'll be a traditional wing (PG) or big (Gobert) that wins it despite Giannis posting the highest defensive rating in the league on the best defensive team. He'll just have to settle for Most Valuable Player... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 PG should win it. Hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Giannis is 1st in D RTG, 1st in D Win Shares, 2nd in Defensive BPM (0.1 behind Gobert) but, hey, its PG "hands down." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Gobert. He should win it, and I think he will. Perimeter guys simply can not make near the same impact on the defensive end as big men can, so I'm always rolling with the best rim protector when it comes to DPOY. Perimeter guys don't get it often either, just Kawhi (x2) and Artest in the last 20+ years, so even though Giannis and PG have had great defensive years, I think Gobert remains safe pick. He has the reputation as reigning DPOY, and has backed it up with his play, will be hard not to vote for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I don't like giving it to guys who might be liabilities in the playoffs. Gobert and Embiid can get picked on when teams go small ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draymond gets credit for that. Not sure why that's a knock on Giannis now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPatrickMahomes15 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 You guys are boring. They always give it to a center. They should give it to Paul George this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lone star Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Yeah, Paul George is another great pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlesthought Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Jrue PG Draymond Gobert (as many chances that he gets on a nightly basis I expected that block number closer to the 90s era) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
