Rudy Gobert should honestly be DPOY, but the media isn't up on that yet.


Also, how can Zach point to Kawhi being DPOY, when the Spurs had been top 5 defensively without him because of Duncan :wtf:

Rudy Go is just :wow: ...

Yeah, I was going to say that. Duncan should be in conversation, its a crime he has never won DPOY. He's the reason they were still in playoff contention.

But with Kawhi, they're a total different animal.

The Jazz have legit gone from one of the worst defenses in the league to the best, Exum gets a bit of credit there too since his length on the perimeter is really a bytch for PGs to deal with now that he's figuring out how to defend, but Rudy is basically a one man zone and combining that with Favors is just :scust:

Kawhi and Duncan are pretty much made better by the other, but the Spurs being top 5 defensively without him speaks volumes about how good the old man still is on that side of the floor.

Duncgawd is all I can really say. Best player of his generation. To age this well as a big man is just :wow: :salute:

Didn't know Rudy was good liek that


Rudy is Roy Hibbert with elite athleticism.

The Utah Jazz have been the NBA's best defensive team since making him the everyday starter, allowing just 89.7 points per 100 possessions.

They were 27th in the league when it came to points per possession before he was the starter :russ:

Teams are shooting 38% at the rim when he's in the game, that is tops in the NBA, second is Bogut at 41%. Because of him they have an identity moving forward, they have the potential to be the best defensive team in the league for the next decade.
