I calledceiling as DPOY on the

Only Hakeem and Shaq have ever put up numbers like that.

Imma Gator fan, always been a fan of Noah. He deserves it. No big man plays with his level of energy even my beloved (no hom0) Tyson Chandler.
He's injured now of course, but nobody on this planet plays harder as Anderson Varejao. Maybe as hard, but not harder (no homo).
Joakim Noah | Chicago Bulls
Noah
Noah is known around the league as a high-energy, defense-first big man, but you wouldn't know it from his plus/minus numbers. For three years running (2009-10 to 2011-12), the Bulls have been better defensively when Noah isn't in the game, and not by just a little, either -- their defense was 4.4 points per 100 possessions better when Noah was on the bench. For point of reference, 4.4 points of defensive rating was the difference between the Golden State Warriors and an average defense last season.
Noah's defensive proponents could counter that Chicago's bench was a defensive juggernaut over the same time period, which would naturally depress Noah's on-court/off-court defensive plus/minus. They'd be right, except that Noah rates as a below-average defender even after adjusting for the players he shared the floor with (teammates and opponents).
Further, 82games.com's counterpart defensive numbers show that opposing bigs posted a 16.8 PER (average is 15.0) when matched up against Noah over the past three seasons. With numbers like that, it might be time to update our view of Noah as a first-class defender.
He's injured now of course, but nobody on this planet plays harder as Anderson Varejao. Maybe as hard, but not harder (no homo).
No love for Larry Sanders?
