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

reading through these comments makes me realize there’s a lot more elite perimeter defenders than paint defenders out there. like only gobert and ad are elite on that end. chet lacks the strength, brook has looked kinda washed defensively this year im surprised i’m seeing his name, and mitchell robinson is good but overrated
SGA has been extremely solid. I wouldn’t call him elite, but he certainly knows how to force turnovers. Most players don’t attack him on defense. Chet is also great against guards, he really knows how to use his length. His issue is when he has to face a big big man. They get into his body and it hurts his ability to contest. However, so many times guards get into the paint and are forced to kick it out because he’s there. He’s like a highlight reel of blocks. I think he’s at his beat when he’s in help defense. But I’m a okc homer and I doubt anyone else read this rant. I just think those 2 should consider them when you speak on best defenders in the league. There’s a reason okc is top 3 in defensive rtg
