I think my list will have Rudy, AD, Bam Adebayo, Brook Lopez, Mitchell Robinson as the top 5 defenders in my DPOY race so far.

Other Notable defenders: OG, Dillon Brooks, Herb Jones, Alex Caruso all deserve some appreciation

    Not naming Rudy Gobert or Jaden McDaniels makes me skeptical of your list OP. The Wolves are 3rd in DRTG despite having played the Hawks (2nd in ORTG) Suns (7th, and they dropped like 135 on us on our SEGABABA which skews our stats) Celtics (8th) Nuggets with Murray (10th) Kings (11th) and Warriors (12th, twice actually but one game without their top 3). Anyways. Wolves defense.

      Gobert is the first one named in this post. Also the way the game has evolved, he’s definitely overrated as a defender overall. Rim protection and post defense is great but with other players in the rankings that do that and can either guard perimeter or 1-5, I just don’t see case being made for Rudy being a front runner just because he is not trash like last year.
